Hackers hit AI coding tool OpenCode, running up users' bills

The open source AI coding agent OpenCode has been compromised by hackers, who reportedly ran up charges on users' connected AI accounts. OpenCode has grown popular as a free alternative to paid tools like Claude Code and Cursor, so the breach raises concerns about supply-chain security for open source developer tools and unexpected costs for anyone who had linked their API accounts.
Why now: A security breach in a widely used open source developer tool directly affects users' money and trust in AI coding assistants.
