New Aoki Infostealer Targets AI Coding Assistant Credentials

Symantec identified an infostealer called Aoki that targets credentials and application programming interface (API) keys from popular artificial intelligence (AI) coding assistants including Claude and Gemini. The malware focuses on stealing authentication tokens that would grant attackers access to these development tools.

Why it matters: Developers using AI coding assistants face credential theft; practitioners should alert development teams and review API key access controls and rotation policies.
