Scanning for AI Models, (Tue, Apr 14th)
A single threat actor (IP 81.168.83.103) has been systematically scanning internet-facing systems since at least January 2026, specifically targeting credential files, API tokens, and configuration data associated with popular AI platforms including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, HuggingFace, and the Openclaw/Clawdbot tools. The campaign focuses on harvesting AI API credentials and secrets stored in predictable file paths, representing a targeted reconnaissance effort against AI model deployments. If successful, these probes could enable API key theft, model access abuse, and broader compromise of AI-integrated systems.
