Alibaba to restrict staff from using Anthropic’s Claude Code

According to a Reuters report, Alibaba plans to prohibit its employees from utilizing Anthropic’s Claude Code starting July 10. The decision follows internal concerns regarding the tool's ability to pinpoint users based in China. Developers discovered that the coding assistant gathers proxy and time zone information while inserting concealed markers into prompts directed at Anthropic. This development follows recent allegations from Anthropic, which accused Alibaba of conducting the most significant AI model distillation attack documented to date.
