- Anthropic's Claude share links were indexed by Google, exposing a real patient's medical report, clinical trial results with patient names, and children's phone numbers.
- Discovered by Redditors over the weekend, the leak echoes a prior Forbes report of hundreds of indexed Claude chats that Anthropic then scrubbed.
