A cybersecurity firm associated with the Chinese government reportedly has concerns about Anthropic's Claude AI models and has warned users against trusting it, at least before updating to the latest version.
As reported by Reuters, the Chinese National Vulnerability Database (NVDB) claims that recent Claude Code versions have a monitoring mechanism that transmits sensitive information to remote servers without consent from the user. This allegedly includes geographic location data and user-identifying information. This was all posted via the agency's official WeChat account, according to the outlet.
