Researchers at Darktrace investigated an incident in which an attacker likely gained access via brute-force to an externally exposed AWS EC2 instance hosting an AI gateway connected to Amazon Bedrock, deployed the XMRig cryptominer, and connected to a mining pool; the report warns that AI gateways aggregate identity, API keys, and access to models and data, so similar compromises could enable credential theft, data exfiltration, model abuse, or privileged cloud persistence.
