Railway employee says attacker who stole AI keys was likely based in mainland China

According to a post on X by @ngeloxyz, a Railway employee says prompts from two more victims gave the company high confidence that the attacker who stole customers' AI keys was distilling model outputs and was based in mainland China. Railway's own preliminary report has not named an actor. It says up to about 1.85% of workspaces may have had secrets exposed in the October 20 to 22 breach. Affected customers are asked to send their prompts to Railway support.

A Railway employee says prompts from two more victims gave the company high confidence that the attacker was distilling off model outputs and was based in mainland China; Railway's own preliminary report hasn't named an actor and says up to about 1.85% of workspaces may have had secrets exposed in the October 20...

Railway customers, especially those whose workspaces may have had secrets exposed, should check whether they are affected and follow the support instructions. Teams that store AI keys on hosted platforms may want to review how those keys are handled. Watch for an updated Railway report, since the company has not yet named an actor or confirmed the employee's attribution.

Security-conscious readers may want to review the source and watch for practical exposure or mitigation details.
