CNET reported:
A new phishing scam reported by the cybersecurity service Malwarebytes works like this: The scam claims that Anthropic is celebrating attracting 100 million users by giving 10,000 people a free month of Claude Max with x20 limits. The offer, which includes “extended thinking” and “priority access to Opus and Sonnet, no caps,” is actually all cap. It’s a fake offer that leads to a Google login page meant to steal login and password information, which could in turn open up access to Gmail, Google Docs and other non-Google accounts that use your Google information.
For those who fall for the scam, clicking on the offer leads to a login page to upgrade a Claude account. An Apple login option is disabled, leaving only the option to “Sign in with Google.”

Key Takeaway: Do not click the link to sign-in to your Anthropic account, sign-in from a bookmarked link or from the link saved from your password manager. If you do click the link in the email and your username / password does not pre-populate, that is a red flag that you are on a spoofed site.
