The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Links to Claude chats that users had shared publicly started appearing in Google and Bing search results, and some of these conversations reportedly contained sensitive material such as API keys, crypto wallet details, resumes and company documents.
- The issue arose because Claude's share feature turns a conversation into a public web page, and many of those pages lacked the no-index tag that tells search engines not to list them.
- Anthropic says there was no data breach or server hack, since users had created the links themselves and a shared link can be opened by anyone.
- Many links have since been removed from Google, though some stayed visible on Bing for a time, and Anthropic has made changes to how shared links are indexed.
What to watch next
- Whether the Claude chat links that remained on Bing are removed from search results.
- Whether Anthropic's indexing changes fully stop shared chats from surfacing in searches.
- Whether the privacy debate leads Anthropic to add clearer warnings or controls for its share feature.
