Hacking. Disinformation. Surveillance. CYBER is Motherboard’s podcast and reporting on the dark underbelly of the internet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

People on the Discord for the r\/ChatGPT subreddit are advertising stolen OpenAI API tokens that have been scraped from other peoples\u2019 code, according to chat logs, screenshots and interviews. People using the stolen API keys can then implement GPT-4 while racking up usage charges to the stolen OpenAI account.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In one case, someone has stolen access to a valuable OpenAI account with an upper limit of $150,000 worth of usage, and is now offering that access for free to other members, including via a website and a second dedicated Discord server. That server has more than 500 members. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

People who want to use OpenAI’s large language models like GPT-4 need to make an account with the company and associate a credit card with the account. OpenAI then gives them a unique API key which allows them to access OpenAI’s tools. For example, an app developer can use code to implement ChatGPT or other language models in their app. The API key gives them access to those tools, and OpenAI charges a fee based on usage: \u201cRemember that your API key is a secret! Do not share it with others or expose it in any client-side code (browsers, apps),\u201d OpenAI warns users<\/span><\/a>. If the key is stolen or exposed, anyone can start racking up charges on that person’s account.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The method by which the pirate gained access highlights a security consideration that paying users of OpenAI need to consider. The person says they scraped a website that allows people to collaborate on coding projects, according to screenshots. In many cases, it appears likely the authors of code hosted on the site, called Replit, did not realize they had included their OpenAI API keys in their publicly accessible code, exposing them to third-parties.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy acc [account] is still not banned after doing crazy shit like this,\u201d the pirate, who goes by the handle Discodtehe, wrote in the r\/ChatGPT Discord server Wednesday. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know anything else about how people are maliciously using AI? We’d love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past few days, Discodtehe\u2019s use of at least one stolen OpenAI API key appears to have ramped up. They shared multiple screenshots of the account usage increasing over time. One recent screenshot shows usage this month of $1,039.37 out of $150,000.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we have enough people they might not ban us all,\u201d Discodtehe wrote on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Discodtehe appears to have been scraping exposed API keys for longer, though. In one Discord message from March, they wrote \u201cthe other day I scraped repl.it and found over 1000 working openai api keys.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even do a full scrape, I only looked at about half of the results,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Replit is an online tool for writing code collaboratively. Users can make projects, what Replit calls \u201cRepls,\u201d which are public by default, Cecilia Ziniti, Replit\u2019s general counsel and head of business development, told Motherboard in an email. Replit offers a mechanism for handling API keys called Secrets, Ziniti added.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome people accidentally do hard code tokens into their Repl’s code, rather than storing them in Secrets. Ultimately, users are responsible for safeguarding their own tokens and should not be storing them in public code,\u201d Ziniti said. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Ziniti said the company scans projects for popular API key types, such as those from Github. After being alerted to this new API key issue by Motherboard, Ziniti said \u201cGoing forward, Replit will be reviewing our token scanning system to ensure that users are warned about accidentally exposing ChatGPT tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we have enough people they might not ban us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

A ChatGPT community member told Motherboard that Discodtehe \u201cshould definitely stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a steadily growing industry and so of course there\u2019ll be crime in it sooner or later, but I\u2019m shocked at how quickly it\u2019s become an issue. The theft of corporate accounts is bad for sure, but I\u2019m personally more bothered about the way these guys are willing to rob regular people who posted their keys by mistake,\u201d they added. Motherboard granted the person anonymity so they didn\u2019t face retaliation from other community members. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Discodtehe went a step further than just scraping tokens. Another Discord server, called ChimeraGPT, is offering \u201cfree access to GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo!,\u201d according to chat logs viewed by Motherboard. Discodtehe said in another message that ChimeraGPT is using the same organization as the stolen API key discussed in the r\/ChatGPT Discord server. Motherboard found a Github repository that recommends using ChimeraGPT for getting a free API key. At the time of writing this server has 531 members.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Discodtehe said in another message they also created a website where people can request free access to the OpenAI API. (Ironically, this site is also hosted on Replit; shortly before publication the site became inaccessible).<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The site tells users to enter their email address, click on a link sent by OpenAI and accept the invite, set their default billing address to the organization \u201cweeeeee\u201d which Discodtehe appears to be using.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cenjoy free gpt-4 api access,\u201d the website concludes. On Wednesday the organization linked to the OpenAI account had 27 members, according to one screenshot. By Thursday, that number had jumped to 40, according to another.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy acc [account] is still not banned after doing crazy shit like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Discodtehe did not respond to a request for comment. A manager of the r\/ChatGPT Discord server called \u201cDawn\u201d told Motherboard their volunteer mods can not check every project, and \u201cwe are issuing a ban on the user.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

An OpenAI spokesperson told Motherboard in an email that \u201cWe conduct automated scans of big open repositories and we revoke any OpenAI keys discovered. We advise that users not reveal their API key after they are generated. If users think their API key may have been exposed, we urge them to rotate their key immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The community member, however, said \u201cI think OpenAI holds a little bit of culpability here for how their authentication process works too though.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t hear about API access to Google Cloud accounts getting stolen like this because Google has better auth[entication] procedures. I hope OpenAI\u2019s integration with Microsoft brings some better security for users going forward,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Discodtehe referred to the usage as \u201cjust borrowing\u201d in another message. They wrote that the usage is \u201cjust quote, no bills have been paid yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, OpenAI will likely foot the bill,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a follow up question asking if it would foot the bill.<\/p>\n
