It was likely Anthropic, see my comment in other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=50302513&goto=item%3Fi... . Cursor likely on purpose does bad reporting to minimize damage on Anthropic pre-IPO (as SpaceX and Anthropic have extensive business ties)
I don't think Spacex cares at all about Anthropics IPO just because they rent out their compute.
Big companies are not just 'Company' they are a lot of small teams doing their own things. They need to coordinate with other people for public announcements etc. and security team is probably also looking at it.
People at the top know that, once the music stops, the ball is over for everyone.
The person at the top refers to Anthropic as "Misanthropic". It seems unlikely that they're also intentionally lying about this to protect Anthropic's interests.
Your conspiracy theory needs some work.

Wasn’t Elon Musk shouting a few days ago that neoclouds are going to crash, the money dried up and that SpaceX was the last company with the opportunity to raise more money?
I think you’re giving Musk too much credit.

OpenVSX has no extension signing, no verification, nothing...
So really, there's no way to say what was compromised and where.
This could have been avoided by having extensions signed by company doing them with their own keys and have them reviewed
Wait... and people use this?
People tell me you can just have directives in a markdown to tell AI not to use certain directories or privileges. They really have no idea.
People here copy and paste random "curl $x | bash" commands all the time.
I doubt these vibe coders understand what you're saying.
It's annoying how fast people run to conspiracy.
And pretend to know and understand the ties between big names
It's easy if you have a big ball of red string already.
