Summary

Hide ▲

Trim shifted from publishing Claude Opus jailbreak techniques to selling AI Pentest Checker, accelerating the commercialization of jailbreak-based offensive tooling. The platform bundled Claude Opus 4.8, GLM-5, and conventional scanners to automate vulnerability testing and report generation for paying users. The move shows how model-bypass methods can be repackaged into a repeatable criminal service with broader underground reach.
