• Hacker News1OpenCode Hacked: User credentials leakedOpenCode reported a security breach caused by a large-scale distillation attack that affected 1.4% of its Console users, who were notified by email. The incident is ongoing, and OpenCode is working with Anthropic and others, though it cannot share more details yet.Scope of the impact:Commenters agree the leak affected only OpenCode Console, a hosted OpenRouter-like service where BYOK keys were stored server-side, not the open-source CLI or desktop app. Some suspect local .env files were also read.Poor communication:Many criticize OpenCode for confusing naming and an unclear announcement that blurs Console with the coding agent. Users want a detailed root-cause analysis, and the team is seen as having suffered brand damage.Key revocation design:Proposals for an invalidate_api_key endpoint so leaked keys can be revoked quickly. Others warn it could enable denial-of-service abuse and suggest protecting it with auth.
• Reddit science1Having health insurance in America doesn't mean you can actually use it. Researchers posing as patients called 5,822 in-network mental health providers: most calls hit voicemails, over half the listings were wrong, and just 24% of real calls ended with an appointment.Secret-shopper calls to 5,822 in-network psychiatrists and psychologists in five states found appointments were hard to get: only 24% of reached providers could see the caller, and 56% of answered calls revealed inaccurate directory information. Many calls went unanswered, and callers faced an average 20.5-day wait.Insurers profit by making care hard to access:Commenters say insurers profit from denying claims and frustrating patients through inaccurate provider directories, claim clawbacks, and complicated approval processes that often lead people to give up.Low pay pushes therapists out of network:Many mental health providers drop insurance because reimbursement is far below market rates, paperwork is burdensome, and audits and clawbacks are common, leaving patients with few in-network options.Calls for Medicare for all:Some users argue that private insurance middlemen are the core problem and propose a single-payer system, pointing to Medicare as an existing model and suggesting that Medicare Advantage be eliminated.
