What happened
SpyCloud reports recapturing more than 130,000 unique WardenStealer infections since August 2026, with the malware expanding into AI developer environments to harvest ChatGPT and Claude authentication files. These tokens can preserve unauthorised access after a password reset, so a reset alone does not evict an attacker. The article attributes this to endpoint compromise and commodity credential theft rather than a vulnerability in the AI models; no CVE is cited.

What to do
- Revoke active ChatGPT and Claude sessions and tokens, not just the account password.
- Check developer endpoints for infostealer infection before reissuing AI credentials.
