my MacBook was talking to a server every night at 3:12am. Claude Code caught it 18 minutes before someone tried to take $6,800 from my exchange it started with the fan. spinning up at night, lid closed, nothing open I asked Claude Code one thing: "what is this Mac doing when I'm not using it?" 6 minutes later it came back with a line I didn't expect: "a browser extension is sending your open tabs and session cookies to a domain registered 11 days ago" the extension → a "free PDF converter" with 4.8 stars the domain → registered 11 days before I installed it the server → a rented box on a cheap hosting plan what it had → every URL I opened, plus the session cookie for my exchange when → every night at 3:12, in one batch it was still sending while I was reading the report they never needed my password. the cookie was enough to walk straight in, and 2FA would never get asked Claude Code told me to log out of every session from my phone first. I did 18 minutes later the exchange sent a login alert from a city I've never been to. the session they tried was already dead $6,800 in USDC was one transfer away. it's still there the real PDF tool has millions of users. mine was a copy with a different publisher name and 9 reviews. I installed it from an ad how not to be me: → install extensions from the developer's own site, never from an ad → check the publisher name, not just the stars → log out of exchanges and banks when you're done. a closed session can't be stolen → keep crypto on a hardware wallet, not one browser tab away → run a read-only audit once a week that last one is now a scheduled job. every Sunday night Claude Code checks what runs, what it sends and who signed it, and asks me before touching anything watch the agents that saved my wallet at work. the full prompts for Mac and Windows are below ↓ free, steal them
