Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT access is being sold on underground markets at up to 95% off
According to an Okta report dated September 9, Telegram channels and underground forums are selling access to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Cursor with 24/7 support and money-back guarantees, at 70% to 90% below standard subscription prices. Part of what is sold is session tokens stolen by infostealer malware, which bypass passwords and two-factor authentication entirely. The rest is free credits from fraudulently opened cloud accounts. One service, Poison Claude, charges only 5% to 15% of the official per-token price and had about 900 active users. Its operator can also see everything customers type.
