Anthropic Claims Indirect Prompt Injection Reduced to ~0 via Layered Defenses
javirandor · x · 2026-08-10
Prompt injection remains a primary attack vector against AI agents, where malicious sites use hidden instructions to trick models into leaking sensitive data. Anthropic reports that by stacking multiple layers of defense—model training, input probes, and an intent-checking classifier—they have reduced indirect prompt injection attacks to nearly zero for Claude models. This auto-protection mode will be enabled by default in Claude Code starting next week.
