This Unit 42 report describes 'token jacking'—criminals stealing AI API keys to programmatically consume costly model tokens via gray‑market 'transfer stations'—outlining attacker techniques (credential theft, npm supply-chain packages, proxy services like new-api), real examples of rapid, large financial losses, associated IOCs (user-agent and IPs, domains), and recommended mitigations (spending limits, short‑lived tokens, AI gateways, CI/CD protections).
