A businessman lost $14,000 after criminals exploited AI chatbot Claude to siphon funds from his Metro Bank account—using his debit card linked to Anthropic’s platform. Despite confirming the fraud, payments continued until the bank finally blocked the card. The incident underscores rising risks as AI tools become financial gateways, especially with user data exposed online. While Anthropic banned the culprit and refunded Rutter, Metro Bank admitted service failures, offered $300 compensation, and sped up future fraud response protocols. Experts warn: report suspicious activity immediately.
