CISA has flagged large-scale knowledge distillation campaigns targeting U.S. frontier models like Claude and GPT, alleging that Chinese firms harvested billions of tokens to accelerate rival model development. This activity represents a shift from legitimate research practices to malicious industrial espionage, raising significant national security concerns regarding the unauthorized extraction of proprietary reasoning and coding capabilities. The incident highlights emerging threats where API abuse and proxy networks are weaponized to bypass intellectual property protections in the AI sector.
CISA Warns Chinese AI Firms Extract Billions of Tokens From Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok

A new U.S. government advisory has raised concerns over large-scale attempts to copy the capabilities of leading artificial intelligence systems. The activity did not involve conventional malware, but instead focused on harvesting model outputs at a scale that could accelerate rival AI development. The alleged campaigns relied on huge volumes of automated requests sent through […] The post CISA Warns Chinese AI Firms Extract Billions of Tokens From Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok appeared first on Cyber Security News.
A new U.S. government advisory has raised concerns over large-scale attempts to copy the capabilities of leading artificial intelligence systems. The activity did not involve conventional malware, but instead focused on harvesting model outputs at a scale that could accelerate rival AI development. The alleged campaigns relied on huge volumes of automated requests sent through application programming interfaces, cloud services, aggregators, and proxy networks. CISA said in a report shared with Cyber…
