The post Anthropic Removes Hidden Claude Code Tracker After Researchers Raise Privacy Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Anthropic removed hidden tracking markers from Claude Code after researchers discovered code used to identify some Chinese users. The company said the experiment was intended to prevent account abuse and detect possible AI model distillation. The discovery comes as Anthropic pushes lawmakers to crack down on unauthorized copying of frontier AI models. Anthropic has removed a hidden tracking system from Claude Code after a security researcher discovered the AI coding assistant was using undisclosed markers to identify some users’ location, proxy use, and possible links to Chinese AI labs. The feature, discovered in June by developer “Thereallo,” embedded signals in Claude Code’s system prompts that could flag users Anthropic believed were bypassing restrictions or attempting to extract model capabilities. “Anthropic probably wants to detect API res

The company says the tool was designed to stop abuse and AI model extraction, but critics questioned the use of undisclosed monitoring.

Anthropic accused Alibaba of using Claude outputs in a major AI distillation attack. The dispute shows rising compliance pressure around cross-border AI model access. Alibaba Group Holding has moved to block employees from using Claude Code at work, escalating a dispute with Anthropic over security, access control, and AI model distillation. The ban follows internal concerns that the coding tool carried “backdoor risks” after developers identified hidden mechanisms linked to user environment checks. In a Thursday internal notice seen by the South China Morning Post, Alibaba said Claude Code had been added to its high-risk software list after a security review. The company said office use would be prohibited from July 10, and employees were told to uninstall Anthropic models and agent products. Cl

The post Digital Chamber Files Brief Over Dormant Satoshi Wallets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Noah Doe sued for title to 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets he found by algorithm. Digital Chamber says dormancy alone cannot prove abandonment under New York law. Noah Doe never held private keys, so cannot access or move funds from any wallet. The Digital Chamber, the United States’ oldest and largest digital asset trade association, has filed an amicus brief in the New York State Supreme Court opposing a lawsuit that seeks to claim ownership of tens of thousands of dormant Bitcoin wallets, some of which are believed to be linked to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. What the Lawsuit Claims A New York resident identified as Noah Doe developed an algorithm in 2024 to identify dormant Bitcoin wallets and ran it on his personal computer, identifying 42,001 wallet addresses that had seen no on-chain activity for at least five years. He copied those addresses onto USB drives

Open-source models’ success isn’t coming at the expense of frontier labs. Instead, they each seem to capture two phases of the same life-cycle.
