Summary

OpenCode says attackers breached an older system overnight, affecting 1.4% of OpenCode Console users whose stored API keys ran up unauthorized charges, some above $1,000. Anthropic and Google blocked exposed keys, OpenAI refunded API customers, and OpenCode says refunds are underway.

Key Points

  • Co-founder Dax Raad says the open source app and command-line tool are unaffected because those keys never reach OpenCode.
  • Raad says attackers try to break into its systems nonstop for 48 hours, forcing AI defensive agents to run around the clock.
  • David Sacks says frontier models refused to analyze the exploits needed for defense and that "the guardrails backfired."
