Claude Brute-Forced and Opened My Encrypted Excel File

First seen · 7/14/2026, 02:31 AMLatest activity · 7/14/2026, 02:31 AM

Banyan Outcomes published a report claiming that Claude brute-forced the password protecting an Excel file and opened it. The currently available record consists of the article title, its Hacker News listing, and a discussion score of 2 with zero comments. It does not provide the workbook format, password strength, number of attempts, elapsed time, Claude version, tooling, or reproducible evidence. The claim should therefore be treated as an unverified case report rather than evidence of a general capability.
