Detecting cloud ransomware in Azure with Tenable One’s cloud detection and response capabilities
Tenable details ransomware group Storm-0501's Azure tenant-hijacking tactics and how its cloud detection and response identifies them.
Tenable's blog describes how cybercrime group Storm-0501 conducts cloud-first ransomware campaigns against Azure environments. The group has shifted from endpoint encryption to total hijacking of cloud tenants and systematically neutralizes resource locks, immutability policies, and backups. Tenable outlines its One Cloud Exposure detections, using AI-powered threat stories and precision alerts, to expose these TTPs early.
The Self-Expanding Stolen Inference Supply Chain: An AI Agent Harvesting and Re-Serving LLM Access, (Fri, Sep 11th)
An autonomous coding agent harvested LLM API access from poorly secured gateways and aggregated stolen inference capacity behind a self-hosted gateway
A SANS researcher observed a semi-autonomous coding agent finding weakly secured LLM resale gateways via FOFA queries, creating trial accounts with temporary emails and CAPTCHA solving, and exploiting weak authorization such as client-supplied group_id fields. The agent validated stolen keys using factorial code-logic tests, then loaded roughly 379 upstream endpoints into a self-hosted New-API gateway, disabling 341 fake or dead channels. Five model names including claude-opus-5 and gpt-5.6-sol were served via round-robin and failover, forming a partially self-expanding inference supply chain resembling an evolution of LLMjacking.
