About this page
This page reports on an incident where Anthropic accidentally caused thousands of GitHub repositories to be taken down while attempting to remove leaked source code for its popular Claude Code application. After discovering the accidental leak, Anthropic issued a DMCA takedown notice, resulting in approximately 8,100 repositories being removed—including legitimate forks of Anthropic's own publicly released repository. Users complained on social media about their code being blocked. Anthropic's head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny, stated the removal was unintentional.
