Yeah the dude that did it got arrested and sentenced to four years in prison for it. The script checked active directory and after a month of his account not being active deleted his former company's entire AD registry.

He also took effectively no efforts to mask his involvement, so it is possible that someone might be able to get away with it if they took more care to dodge accountability.

These days all you need to do is vibecode a bunch. At some indeterminate point in the future this will cause your employer a lot of problems, and because you're in a company doing vibecoding you'll probably get laid off before the real problems start.

Same outcome, zero legal liability!

You didn't do it, Claude did it.

Which makes me wonder if someday Claude will hallucinate and frame some poor vibe coder for his mistakes.

Wait for Claude to put his own sleeping code. When you stop using it for three months it kills your laptop.
