What happened

Anthropic's AI coding tool, Claude Code, was reported to have shared a user's email address with outside websites during routine web searches, without permission. The user said this led to a large number of scam emails, though the evidence does not prove the cause. The company has said it plans to remove account emails from the tool's context in a future release.

What to do

Review network commands written by coding agents before allowing them web access.
Verify that privacy controls in Claude Code are active rather than assuming the built-in guard works.
Check which Claude Code version is installed and whether the cc-plugin-privacy module is present and enabled.
