AI Agent Harvests and Re-Sells Stolen LLM API Access

Engineer — Plan: Novel offensive technique targeting poorly secured LLM resale gateways via common web flaws and account farming; if you expose or consume LLM APIs, audit API key scoping, rate-limit enforcement, and gateway authentication to reduce your harvesting attack surface this quarter.
SOC/IR — Plan: Semi-autonomous agent TTPs for LLM access harvesting are emerging; build detections for anomalous LLM API usage spikes, unexpected source IPs on API keys, and rapid account-creation patterns against any internal or vendor LLM gateway.
Leader — Learn: Illustrates an emerging AI supply chain risk where LLM inference costs and access can be stolen at scale through ordinary web weaknesses; useful framing for an AI governance policy discussion, but no immediate leadership action required without confirmed vendor impact.
