    Attack

    Attackers hijack victims' Google Cloud billing accounts to pay for massive LLM usage.

    • Initial access goes through Google Search ads on "google cloud" and "gcp" leading to a fake login page.

    • GCP projects controlled by the attackers are linked to the victim's billing account.

    • The prompts and the model responses therefore remain invisible to the victim organization.

    • According to Wiz CIRT, the charges reach tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in 24 to 48 hours.
