Anthropic accidentally leaked 512,000 lines of Claude Code source code through a misconfigured npm package on March 31, 2026, then compounded the problem by filing a DMCA takedown that disabled 8,100 GitHub repositories — the vast majority of which had no connection to the leaked material. The company retracted the bulk of the notices within a day, but the incident exposed deep flaws in GitHub's DMCA enforcement mechanism and raised questions about Anthropic's operational maturity ahead of a rumored IPO.
