Campaign Exposes AI Platform Credential Risks","Attackers systematically targeted stored environment variables across at least nine AI developer platforms, extracting credentials that granted unauthorized access to AI models and cloud resources — a technique known as LLMJacking. The root problem lies in poor secrets management and misconfigured environments where sensitive API keys and tokens are stored in plaintext or insufficiently protected locations. Third-party vendor dependencies amplified the blast radius, meaning a single compromised supplier could cascade into multiple downstream victims.
