Alibaba Completely Bans Claude Code Internally, Recommends Qoder as Replacement

According to reports by The Paper, due to security risks involving implanted backdoors exposed in Claude Code, Alibaba has listed it on its high-risk software list following a comprehensive evaluation. Effective July 10, internal employees are completely prohibited from using it in the office environment, and Qoder is recommended as an alternative. It is reported that Anthropic's Claude Code was found to have embedded "invisible code" since version 2.1.91. If users enable network proxies, the tool will secretly transmit user location and other information by modifying invisible system prompts. In response, Anthropic stated that this function was an experimental measure launched in March this year, aimed at preventing unauthorized resellers from abusing accounts and preventing distillation behavior, and indicated it would be fully rolled back in the latest version.
