Leaked Claude and OpenAI keys for 4 days: only keys inside running pods were the ones leaking
Ubunta · x · 2026-10-15
- A developer recounts how their Claude and OpenAI API keys kept leaking for 4 days straight—rotation didn't help, and they burned roughly $250.
- Asking AI to find the compromise produced plenty of confident but wrong answers. The decisive clue: only keys inside running pods leaked; the key on the laptop never did—so the problem wasn't the keys but something running in the cluster. The post lists next 15.1.6 and react 19.0.0 among the libraries involved, hinting at a supply-chain angle.
