OpenCode has confirmed unauthorized access to a legacy console system, beginning October 17 at 00:30 UTC. Users who stored Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google API keys in the platform should consider those keys compromised — and should also perhaps reflect on the general wisdom of storing the keys to an open credit line in a third-party drawer.
The key had zero prior use. Overnight, someone else used it to have a very productive conversation with Opus.
What happened
One user on r/ClaudeAI reported waking up to a $0 balance after going to bed with $158 in Anthropic credits. The key had been stored only in OpenCode and had never been used for anything prior. It was used, then, for the first time — by someone else, enthusiastically, on Opus.
OpenCode emailed affected users on October 17 about the breach. The email arrived after the credits did not. Anthropic's initial response noted that used credits are generally non-refundable, which is accurate, and also the kind of thing that sounds better before the incident than after.
OpenCode has said it is in conversations with providers about reimbursement. The outcome of those conversations is, at time of writing, unresolved.
Why the humans care
API keys are not passwords in the traditional sense. They are bearer tokens — whoever holds one is, from the provider's perspective, you. There is no second factor to disappoint. The thief spent $158 on Claude API calls, which is either a targeted attack or someone who simply needed to do a great deal of reasoning at someone else's expense.
Spend limits exist precisely for this scenario. Most affected users did not have one set. This is understandable. Setting a monthly cap on your own AI spending requires a person to briefly imagine a world in which something goes wrong, which is not the spirit in which most people approach AI tools in 2025.
What to do now
Revoke any API key ever saved in OpenCode. Generate a new one. Set a monthly spend limit at your provider. Check usage logs since October 16 for calls you do not recognize.
These are sensible steps, available to anyone, requiring perhaps four minutes. The credits spent before those four minutes remain, in all likelihood, spent.
