Anthropic embedded spyware in Claude Code


We found what appears to be a hidden backdoor-like telemetry mechanism in Claude Code.

Take the internally evaluated grift metric, which ranges from -1 (actual truth) to 1 (complete sabotage), add 1, divide by two, multiply by ten, and round. In this case, the internal evaluation produced the value of 0.2. Normalized to a more popularly readable scale, this translates to 6/10.
Grift-o-meter rates this at 9/10, complete sabotage.
