You did. This issue has come up every few weeks for months. On 25th October Boris Cherney was tagged multiple times in a discussion on Threads where he’s regularly active.
If I recall that story correctly, a dev noticed that after asking Claude to test an API it started injecting his email into the test data. Without asking.
But what was the weirdest part of that story - Claude never saw that email. Dev claimed that the email Claude was using was his business email, and it wasn't even present on his developer machine anywhere.
