Threats Affecting China

A thriving gray market has emerged offering discounted access to AI models through fraudulent account registrations that exploit free trials and startup credits. Services like Poison Claude and Ecomagent offer 70-90% discounts by creating fake accounts on platforms such as AWS Bedrock and Google Cloud, then reselling access through custom API endpoints. The demand is driven by cost considerations, access restrictions in regions like China, and desire for anonymity. Fraudulent registration campaigns targeting AI video services show over 105,000 brute-force signup attempts using bots, VPNs, and disposable email domains. The operations leverage residential proxies to evade detection and accept cryptocurrency payments. These services operate through sophisticated AI gateways and are advertised on underground forums and messaging platforms, particularly in Chinese-language markets, representing a significant platform abuse challenge for AI service providers.

Flying Eagle is an Android remote access tool (RAT) whose source code was leaked in early 2026, leading to a fractured criminal ecosystem with about 170 active servers. The malware is distributed via Telegram channels offering modified versions and operational support, targeting Chinese users primarily with phishing overlays aimed at financial, adult, and government services. A successor platform called Night Dragon was introduced in June 2026, enhancing credential theft capabilities for Chinese banking apps, cryptocurrency wallets, and social media. The threat leverages social engineering and impersonation tactics, including malicious APKs mimicking official Chinese government apps. While primarily focused on China, the platform's templates suggest potential for broader international targeting.
