Threat actors are exploiting cloud provider startup credits and free trial programs to operate gray-market AI proxy services that resell discounted access to Gemini and other AI models. Okta Threat Intelligence identified services like 'Ecomagent' using Google Vertex AI to offer below-cost Gemini access to customers via fraudulent account registrations. These proxy services expose risks including data interception, credential theft, and account suspension due to terms-of-service violation.
