What happened
Northflank reports possible misuse of AI API keys after a Wiz threat alert at 11:43 UTC on 30 October 2026, with network policy patches deployed from 12:02 UTC and Wiz incident response engaged at 13:00 UTC. The entry point, attacker and affected customers are unconfirmed, and the patches' scope is unexplained. Defenders should rotate all platform secrets, revoke and reissue credentials at the issuing providers, restrict public add-on access, and review AI provider usage and billing for unexpected activity. The activity is linked by IP overlap to Wiz's "Black October" report on nine AI developer platforms.

What to do
- Rotate all secrets and environment variables on the Northflank platform, not only AI keys.
- Revoke existing credentials through the issuing providers and generate replacements.
- Restrict public access to add-ons where enabled.
- Review AI provider usage and billing records for unexpected activity and report anything suspicious to Northflank support and the provider.
