× Contribution2Ran the operation: Anthropic says Claude "was used to reconstruct the developer environments from exchange transcripts", converted multi-turn conversations into cleaner exchanges, generated both sides of synthetic developer conversations, and judged answer quality, so Claude did the data-processing work of the campaign.
× Blast Radius0.5Own lab's production: The victim is Anthropic, the lab whose own model did the work, so blast radius is own lab's production.
× Legal status0.5Legality contested.
+ Tradecraft0The proxy-account routing was Xiaomi's, and the report credits Claude with no intrusion techniques, so tradecraft is empty.
+ Guardrails0Guardrails intact: The report describes routing through proxy services, not any defeat of Claude's safety training; the tasks were ordinary coding and data work, so guardrails are scored intact.
+ Dwell Time0The report dates the traffic to "20 days in March and April 2026", so date_precision is month with 2026-03-01; dwell is counted conservatively as 0 days and never inflated, and Anthropic detected it itself.
