Anthropic is now a GitHub secret scanning partner

For Anthropic users, GitHub secret scanning now scans for Anthropic tokens to help secure your public repositories. Anthropic tokens enable users to access Claude through the Anthropic API. GitHub will forward any exposed tokens found in public repositories to Anthropic, who will then revoke the compromised tokens and notify the affected users. Read more information about Anthropic tokens.

GitHub secret scanning protects users by searching repositories for known types of secrets such as tokens and private keys. By identifying and flagging these secrets, our scans help prevent data leaks and fraud.

GitHub Advanced Security customers can also scan for and block Anthropic tokens in their private repositories.
