Threat actors are coming for your AI assets to operationalize their use of AI

Hackers and government-backed groups are stealing AI-related assets like models, API credentials (security keys that grant access to AI services), and configuration files from organizations across healthcare, defense, media, and government sectors. They're also launching distillation attacks (extracting an AI model's knowledge by sending targeted questions to it) to copy the capabilities of powerful AI systems, and using stolen credentials to deploy their own AI workloads or automate attacks.
