Hackers are stealing Claude tokens from subscribers

A UK-based AI consultant noticed his Claude Max 20x account kept burning tokens while idle, climbing from 45% to 55%. Anthropic confirmed the anomaly, suspended his paid account, and refunded £44.49, but didn't provide an itemized usage log. The suspension disrupted his business, which relies on Claude for client agent workflows. The post doesn't explain how attackers obtained the tokens or how many users are affected.

Why it matters: Anthropic security incident with a named victim, concrete numbers, and official response — hits all three HKR axes. Held back from higher bands because it's a single case reported by TechCrunch, not an Anthropic disclosure, and we only have the user's side. 78, low featured.
