Anthropic Says Infostealer Malware Is Hijacking Claude Sessions to Drain Paid Usage

Anthropic emailed affected Claude users after infostealer malware on their own machines lifted authenticated Claude session cookies from their browsers, letting attackers replay a live session and burn paid usage without ever logging in. The company named Vidar, Lumma (LummaC2), StealC, RedLine and Acreed on Windows, plus Atomic Stealer (AMOS) on a small number of Macs, and stressed it has "no reason to believe that this malware is related to Claude, installed through Claude, or related to anything you did with Claude." Anthropic signed affected users out, removed saved payment methods and refunded unauthorized charges, warning that signing users out stops the stolen sessions but does not remove the malware.

SpaceX Is Building a Foundry to Break the Gas Turbine Bottleneck Behind AI Data Centers

Elon Musk confirmed on Saturday that the secret foundry SpaceX is building in Bastrop, Texas will cast gas turbine blades and vanes, the step he calls the limiting factor in turbine production: "By doing in-house casting at SpaceX, we can accelerate nat gas turbines coming online by up to 18 months, which is a profound game-changer." Just four companies worldwide cast the parts at industrial scale and all are tapped out, while the IEA projects global data center electricity use will roughly double by 2030 and GE Vernova says it is essentially sold out of production capacity through 2030. Faster turbines carry a cost: a Piedmont Environmental Council study of eight turbines at one Virginia data center estimated 3.4 to 6.5 additional premature deaths a year and $53 million to $99 million in annual health damages.

Sony Music and Warner Chappell Sue Anthropic Over Claude Training Data

Sony Music Publishing, Warner Chappell and numerous other music publishers sued Anthropic and co-founders Dario Amodei and Benjamin Mann late Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging a "brazen campaign of illegally torrenting, scraping, and downloading copyrighted works" used to train Claude. The suit follows Bartz v. Anthropic, where a judge ruled that while it was legal for the AI lab to use copyrighted works, it was not legal to acquire that content through piracy, and Anthropic was ordered to pay $1.5 billion. Anthropic said it disagrees with the publishers' claims and intends to "defend ourselves robustly in court."
