OpenCode warns users to rotate provider keys after legacy-system intrusion

OpenCode told some customers to revoke and replace third-party API keys after unauthorized access to a legacy system may have exposed credentials saved in their workspaces, according to a customer notice reproduced in an X thread by security professional Matt Johansen (@mattjay) on October 17th. The notice names OpenAI and Anthropic keys as examples and asks recipients to check provider usage for unexpected activity. The warning puts cloud-held provider credentials at the center of the incident, since AI coding agents can sit between a developer's projects and paid model APIs.
