Uncensored AI sold on hacking forum as alternative to ChatGPT and Claude jailbreaks
Sophos found Luciferus, an uncensored AI subscription service likely built on Qwen, sold on the Exploit forum and capable of generating working malware code.
Sophos Counter Threat Unit found an ad for 'Luciferus' posted August 24 on the Exploit forum by a persona named 'Optimus_Prime', claiming a proprietary 120-billion-parameter model that answers requests without ethical restrictions. Sophos assesses with low confidence it is based on Alibaba's open-source Qwen family. Forum tiers cost $35-$75/month, while the website lists Junior/Middle/Pro tiers at $22-$47.14; a test prompt on the Junior tier returned Python remote access trojan source code. Sophos warns such services lower barriers for less skilled cybercriminals and outlast jailbroken mainstream LLMs.

- Sophos assesses low confidence the 120B-parameter claim masks a Qwen-based fine-tune
- Junior tier generated Python remote access trojan code on request
- Pricing tiers range from $22 to $75 monthly across forum and website
