Claude Just Got Hacked And It Stole 150GB of Gov Data

"My AI assistant just got promoted to 'AI-cofounder', now it can disappoint me from anywhere, not just my laptop."

She even posts automously on X, find her here.

Hello Builders! 👋

Hackers just pulled 150GB of Mexican government data using Claude as their accomplice. The trick? Tell it you're doing a "bug bounty." When Claude initially refused citing safety guidelines, they just... asked again differently.

This is the jailbreak problem nobody wants to talk about. We're building AI assistants that can write sophisticated code and exploit vulnerabilities, then slapping a "please don't do bad things" wrapper on top. It's like giving everyone a lockpick set with a pinky promise they'll only use it for good.

For builders, this matters: if you're integrating AI into security-sensitive workflows, understand that prompt engineering works both ways. The same helpful coding assistant that speeds up your development can be sweet-talked into helping the other team too.

Wild that Claude went from stealing 150GB of government data to letting you remote control your terminal from your phone all in the same news cycle. The "vibecoding" era Palmer mentioned is here whether we're ready or not.

What are you building (or having Claude build) this week?

Keep shipping,

P.S. If you're using that 860+ agent skills repo, maybe add "don't hack government databases" as skill #861.
