What Is LLMjacking? The New AI Cybercrime Stealing Cloud AI Compute
LLMjacking is a new cybercrime where attackers steal access to cloud-hosted AI models and use them for free — while the victim pays the bill. In this video, we break down what LLMjacking is, how attackers exploit compromised credentials and exposed APIs, and why security teams should treat AI infrastructure as a high-value attack target. Discovered by the Sysdig Threat Research Team, LLMjacking is quickly becoming the AI-era equivalent of cryptojacking — except instead of mining cryptocurrency, attackers run expensive large language models (LLMs) at scale.
