6TB of AI chat logs for sale expose keys to Xiaomi, Huawei, NIO and government agencies

Security researcher @shoucccc says he bought a 6TB dataset from a top Chinese LLM router containing SSH keys, VPN configs, Aliyun access keys and GitLab tokens — enough to take over 7 Chinese/CIS government entities and 19 major Chinese firms including Xiaomi, Huawei, NIO and Minimax.
The chain: since Claude/ChatGPT are blocked in China, engineers buy access via cheap Taobao resellers who pipe requests to the real model. AI coding agents upload entire projects in plaintext, the middleman logs everything, then sells the logs — and none of the affected companies noticed.
