Anthropic's Claude AI share links exposed in Google search

Hundreds of Claude AI conversations became searchable on Google and Bing after users created public share links with the chatbot’s Share feature. The pages lacked a no‑index tag, so search engines indexed them despite robots.txt disallow rules. Anthropic confirmed the exposure was not the result of a hack; it stemmed from users voluntarily sharing links that were then crawled. The incident revealed sensitive data in some chats, including legal advice, API keys and cryptocurrency wallet information, prompting broader privacy concerns about AI chat services. Anthropic quickly disabled the public‑share indexing function and worked with Google to remove the indexed pages. Users can now unshare or set chats to private through Claude’s settings to prevent further exposure.
