GPU host warns: renter exploited his rig for attacks, Clore.AI blocked him for reporting it
anomaly256 · reddit · 2026-09-19
A self-hoster who rented out his GPU on Clore.AI discovered a tenant scanning for vulnerabilities and attempting to post malware to a Colombian betting site through his connection.
- Clore refused to cancel the order or ban the renter, and blocked him when shown hard evidence
- He mounted the filesystem offline per the T&C and found vuln-scan logs, exploit attempts, the malware payload, request-smuggling tactics — and AI agent reports the attacker generated along the way
- Clore's response to the evidence: told him to leave the platform entirely, blocked support chat and Telegram
His conclusion: Clore is wilfully complicit in facilitating cybercrime. Warning to anyone monetizing idle GPUs — consider Vast.AI or Akash instead.
