Anthropic warns victims of infostealers

Some users of Anthropic's AI model Claude reported being logged out of their accounts after their login credentials were stolen using infostealing malware. The affected users received an email from Anthropic explaining that they had been automatically logged out and their payment methods removed as a precautionary measure to prevent further misuse by cybercriminals. The company stated that malicious actors used infostealers to steal login sessions from computers, allowing them to access user accounts and utilize available tokens. Affected users were advised to log back in, update their payment information, change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and check for any unauthorized activity. The incident involved several types of malware, including Vidar, Lumma, StealC, RedLine, Acreed on Windows systems, and Atomic Stealer on some Macs. On Reddit, a user shared their experience of having their credentials and session cookies stolen from Chrome and expressed gratitude toward Anthropic for responding quickly.
