MITRE ATLAS 2026.09 / technique reference
AML.T0008.005
AI Service Proxies
MITRE source definition
Adversaries may utilize commercial proxy services that resell access to AI services such as frontier model APIs.
This infrastructure can be used to conduct large-scale campaigns to perform [Exfiltration via AI Inference API](/techniques/AML.T0024) via distillation. Adversaries may also use this infrastructure to [Generate Malicious Commands](/techniques/AML.T0102) for offensive cyber operations, or to generate content for [Spearphishing via Social Engineering LLM](/techniques/AML.T0052.000).
Commercial AI service proxies distribute traffic from different accounts and various cloud platforms. The mix of traffic can make malicious activity difficult to detect and block[[anthropic]].
Malicious actors conduct LLM Jacking attacks to gain access to victim accounts which they then resell access to in their proxy services[[sysdig]].

MITRE mitigations
No explicit relationship in this pinned source.
MITRE case studies
These are explicit source relationships, not independently reproduced incidents or validated detection coverage.
Simulation and telemetry boundary
This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.
For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
