Summary

Research reveals a market where cheap Claude API access is achieved via stolen identities, deepfaked KYC, and smaller models masquerading as Claude, with all data being logged permanently—posing significant security and privacy risks.

So basically, I did deep technical research into the tools and methods people use for this (basically anyone can replicate it), how the process works, and how it’s also being used for training smaller models and in the process they make million dollars. here is the deep research over it if anyone is interested [https://x.com/HarshalsinghCN/status/2056626175959826692?s=20](https://x.com/HarshalsinghCN/status/2056626175959826692?s=20) Here are the Three things. The Claude you're getting is real Claude maybe half the time. The other half, you're getting a much smaller model in an Opus-shaped wrapper. The accounts behind your traffic were created with stolen IDs, deepfaked KYC selfies, and botnet-compromised home routers — some of that risk is now yours. And every byte you send, and every byte that comes back, is logged. Forever. By someone you don't know. For a market you wouldn't want to be in. The third part is the one worth thinking about, because it explains the other two. let me know your views about this, also this is long article not for doomscrollers
