Summary

Hide ▲

A growing underground market for premium AI platform access is turning ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity access into a tradable black-market commodity. The shift matters because ready-made accounts, subscriptions, and API access can help fraud actors scale phishing, scam scripts, and other AI-assisted abuse. Listings in fraud-oriented online communities suggest the ecosystem is broadening beyond isolated account misuse into repeated resale and redistribution.
