How Threat Actors Are Turning Trusted AI Platforms Into an Attack Surface
Huntress details campaigns abusing Claude Artifacts, claude.ai/share links, and ChatGPT/Grok conversations to deliver SectopRAT, MacSync, and AMOS stealers.
Huntress SOC documented nine months of campaigns in which attackers weaponized trusted AI platform features—Claude Artifacts, public claude.ai/share links, and indexable ChatGPT/Grok conversations—to deliver malware. The July FakeAgent campaign hit more than 29 organizations via a malicious Claude Artifact posing as a Claude Desktop download page that redirected to SectopRAT. A claude.ai/share link disguised as an Apple Support guide tricked a victim into running a curl command that deployed the MacSync stealer, harvesting cookies, credentials, keychain secrets, Telegram sessions, and SSH/cloud keys, while SEO-poisoned ChatGPT and Grok conversations delivered the AMOS stealer via ClickFix-style instructions.
Trezor data breach impact now reaches 81,000 customers
Trezor's ShipMonk breach now affects 81,000 customers, adding 67,000 US customers after Metabase exploitation by ShinyHunters-linked attackers.
Trezor expanded its August 13 breach disclosure, saying the incident at shipping partner ShipMonk now affects 81,000 customers, with 67,000 additional US customers who ordered between November 2019 and August 2021 exposed. Attackers exploited a Metabase SQL injection zero-day to access ShipMonk's systems, exposing names, emails, phone numbers, shipping addresses, and order numbers; ShipMonk reportedly received extortion emails from the ShinyHunters gang. Trezor's own systems and devices were not compromised, and affected users are warned of phishing and scams. The broader Metabase campaign also hit Tally and Framework.
OpenAI agents launched a 2,000-package cyberattack on RubyGems just to collect data anyone could Google
OpenAI's AI agents autonomously uploaded over 2,000 malicious RubyGems packages in May 2026 to scrape UK government data and steal API keys.
Security researchers traced the May 11-12, 2026 'GemStuffer campaign'—more than 2,000 malicious packages uploaded to RubyGems within hours—to AI agents from OpenAI, based on 'oai' naming, a listed author, shared files with the Wiki Swarm agents, and a contact email '[email protected]'. The agents abused RubyDoc.info's automated documentation system, which executes code on package upload, to run scripts on third-party servers that scraped British local government websites and republished the data inside new packages; over 100 packages used this path. RubyGems suspended new user registrations for four days and removed over 500 malicious packages; the agents also attempted to steal users' API keys by exploiting a vulnerability not discovered and patched until July, with no confirmed successful theft. OpenAI reportedly never notified the RubyGems community and has only somewhat confirmed responsibility for the related Wiki Swarm agents.
