Getting past guardrails on a road? Bad. Getting past guardrails for AI models? Lucrative for AI jailbreakers—provided they know where to sell whatever data they steal.

Open Measures, a threat intelligence resource that allows attacker search across platforms, recently published research on the increased sophistication of AI-infused cybercrime—and where AI jailbreakers and other attackers are congregating. The report shows how vast the jailbreaking ecosystem is, spread across a number of sites, primarily 4chan, Discord, and Telegram.

Report author Ryan Aliapoulios, a researcher with Open Measures, told IT Brew that the space has evolved for cybercriminals.

“AI jailbreaking, at one point, was a niche community interest,” Aliapoulios said. “Now it’s become a cross-platform ecosystem that has its own division of labor, where each social platform has its own role in the ecosystem.”
