I’d expect nothing less than a post mortem on how this happened to be honest.

This has nothing to do with anthropic. One (or two) distribution channels were hacked. The hackers decided to distribute their malware through the claude extension, probably because it's popular.

I’d still expect a post mortem, be it from Cursor or Anthropic.
