❗️ Alibaba bans employees from using Anthropic's Claude Code in workplace environments from July 10, citing alleged embedded "backdoor" risks raised after recent binary reverse-engineering.
The reported ban lands weeks after Anthropic told US lawmakers that Alibaba-linked operators used roughly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to distill Claude, turning a model-abuse dispute into an open corporate standoff.
Huntress appears to have an insider problem. According to one of its ex-employees, an insider passed communications from US law enforcement to a threat actor called "Devman."
The ex-employee, a former security analyst, says he resigned over it. He claims that with an IPO on the horizon, Huntress prioritized keeping the incident away from the press rather than disclosing it. He also says the threat actor has been targeting him and his family, and that the company's legal director tried to silence him with legal threats.
He says he will publish his supporting evidence over the next two weeks, including FBI communications, more than four hours of recorded calls, and internal escalations raised weeks before the insider was caught.
