Claude Code found a crypto miner hiding on a developer's overheating Mac

A developer was writing a Mac temperature monitoring app with Claude Code when the agent noticed the processor was heating up to 112°C (234°F). The cause turned out to be a hidden XMRig miner: it was using about 12 cores, launched at startup and, judging by a screenshot, had been running since August 29. Claude offered to move its files to a quarantine folder and, once it got the go-ahead, removed the miner, the author wrote on Reddit, as reported by Tom's Hardware.
