This incident would have been caught in an open source harness. This one is closed source malware, and you don't know what Claude Code does internally to behave like this.
Yet another reason why you cannot trust a closed harness.
What worked for someone else a week ago does not mean it will also work for you next week.
The "HackerAnything" hype were just flashes in a pan fads that will be forgotten in a long list of slop projects.
To the lawyers, they can use software being available for free both as in for $0 and freedom as in libre (including choosing to not pay for it and not being obligated to pay developers at all) while their service of legal advice is not free and always costs money.
Guess who wins here? (Hint: It isn't the volunteer open source developer)
Because the lawyers can for example, argue that their current games can be future targets of unauthorized recomp'd redistributions that will impact the sales of the business.
Nintendo also sells and offers old games digitally and they have the correct rights in redistributing them which this still counts as a "actively commercial game" even if it is old.
These companies don't care about ripped and recompiled games if it is done for private use. They only care if the game and its assets are redistributed in an unauthorized manner.
Just because this game is old, does not mean they (nfsu2 [dot] xyz) own the rights to redistributing it which is what they are doing. Both the copyright for this game and the company is still live.
Even asking for donations is going to get them into trouble as well as inviting the rights holders to contact them directly.
So I don't think this site will survive for long. EA's lawyers have access to insurmountable funds which make this cat-and-mouse game disadvantageous to projects like this who are even showing the intention of asking for some form of financial contribution of support (money through donations).
It costs EA nothing and their owners have funds from sources that make the cat-and-mouse game expensive for the reuploaders.
1) A non-profit company that has full-time employees but supported via sponsorships: (gnu project, mastodon, omarchy, zig)
2) Multiple for-profit companies that each have full-time employees contributing to an open source project that they all use: (ocaml, linux, rust)
3) An ultra high net worth individual that has full-time contributors to open source and supported via a non-profit (signal, ghostty)
4) A for-profit company that has dedicated full-time employees that have full support and own the direction of the open source project (go, swift, java)
5) VC funded open source projects (Herdr, Bun, Deno, Burno, Atuin)
All other options such as low donations like "buy me a coffee", ko-fi, are completely unsustainable, now that AI agents exist.
The crickets here goes to show that if millions of peoples bank accounts (or business accounts) could not withdraw their money in the US, well it will be a massive problem.
The last time that a major event like this happened was SVB, and First Republic Bank all failed and people could not withdraw their money.
But of course in this case (Paraguay) no-one cares.
Another wave of vulnerabilities like this are yet to be discovered in Linux. We are just seeing how weak C and C++ based OSes and kernels are when put under hundreds of AI agents.

There will be at least ONE critical CVE every week.
Bubblewrap would just be a better alternative for this.
Have a read of the clean documentation that they never wrote or read. [0]
All the clean code, architecture principles thrown out of the window in favour of hundreds of code smells, anti-patterns, zero tests, and tons of unmaintainable slop.

It's not really "Flash" if it is 7 tokens per second.
Also don't bother with any GPU lower than an RTX 5080 or even a DGX Spark (it is a scam) if you are seriously considering running frontier local models.
Offshoring understanding is the trend that many companies will pay in the form of comprehension debt.
Open weight models such as Deepseek, GLM are just as good as the frontier closed models and already we have bank such as Revolut migrating off of frontier closed models and self-hosting. [0]
Just like the last time before the 2022 market crash [0] and that was before you created your account.
