A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
Cursor reporting this: https://cursor.com/blog/claude-code-extension-security-notic... What appears to be an official Binance account reporting it also: https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/10-30-2026-claude-cod...
How legit is this? Seems low on details. I don't use Cursor or the VSCode extension, but know plenty in our organisation who use the latter. How worried should we be?
