LLMjacking: How hackers steal your AI API keys and stick you with the bill
Explore the podcast → https://ibm.biz/~sW0ssm7Tk AI tools can turn a team of three developers into a fully functioning company. They can also push that company to the brink of bankruptcy. On this week’s Security Intelligence, we talk LLMjacking: Hackers steal your AI API keys and then rack up massive bills, even blowing past usage caps in some cases One small startup saw its typical bill balloon from $180 a month to $82,000 in two days. We chat about what makes AI API keys vulnerable and how we can tighten our defenses to keep these vital credentials safe. Then we get into how AI is transforming adversary simulation and red teaming, and why the human is still the most important part of the loop. Finally, CISA is considering cutting the federal patch window from two weeks to three days. Can we actually move that fast?
