Alibaba Bans Anthropic's Claude Code as AI Security Fight Escalates Nauman Khan Tue, July 7, 2026 at 1:56 PM EDT 1 min read BABA META This article first appeared on GuruFocus . Alibaba ( NYSE:BABA ) will block employee access to Anthropic's Claude Code beginning July 10 over security concerns as tensions surrounding AI tools and cross-border technology restrictions continue to grow. Alibaba has reportedly classified Claude Code as a high-risk application because of potential "backdoor" risks, referring to hidden software pathways that could allow unauthorized system access. The restriction follows allegations by Anthropic that Alibaba used thousands of fraudulent accounts to access Claude and train its own AI models, claims that Alibaba has not publicly addressed.
