Threat actors are targeting enterprise AI assets—model weights, source code, API keys, and cloud compute—to exfiltrate proprietary LLMs, conduct distillation attacks harvesting >100 million prompts, and hijack resources for LLMJacking. They deploy autonomous frameworks such as Recon (managing >23 800 credentials), DUSTMAKER (stealer with hidden‑dir persistence, CI/CD OIDC theft, prompt‑injection evasion), and Phlanx, reducing human‑in‑the‑loop latency for credential campaigns to under six hours. State‑linked groups (e.g., UNC6508) establish local LLM instances in compromised clouds to evade API monitoring.
