Infostealer Logs Expose Replayable AI Tokens That Can Bypass MFA
Infostealer logs are selling replayable AI tokens that bypass MFA and grant illicit account access.
Cybercriminals are exploiting information stealer malware like Lumma Stealer and Vidar to harvest session tokens and API keys from AI user accounts. These stolen "keys" can be replayed to bypass credential-based authentication and MFA, granting attackers direct access to AI services from providers like Google and Anthropic. The stolen data also includes PII, which can be used for social engineering.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonInfostealer malware such as Lumma Stealer and Vidar is harvesting session tokens and API keys from compromised endpoints, allowing attackers to replay these credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication entirely. This highlights a critical flaw in relying solely on MFA: once a valid session token is stolen, the authentication challenge is already solved from the attacker's perspective. AI service providers and enterprise users are particularly at risk because long-lived tokens and API keys are often stored insecurely on disk or in browser profiles. The additional exposure of PII in these logs further amplifies the risk by enabling targeted social engineering attacks against users and organizations.
What helps against this
How we list vendors- Phishing-resistant MFA
A stolen password, or a user who taps Approve on a push prompt, is no longer enough to log in.
- Secrets management
API keys, tokens and passwords stop leaking from code, chat and configuration files.
- Endpoint detection and response (EDR and XDR)
Malware and hands-on-keyboard attackers on laptops and servers get spotted and stopped.
