## Executive Summary
A new report out today from Google LLC's Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group finds that attackers who hijack enterprise access to large language models are running up fraudulent cloud charges of more than $100,000 in a single day.

## Why It Matters (Strategic Analysis)
The rapid financial drain of LLMjacking exposes the inadequacy of traditional, volume-based cloud security monitoring when applied to high-cost LLM API inference calls and token generation. Attackers bypass standard monitoring by leveraging low-token test requests, token-harvesting fake portals, and user ID rebind flaws to escalate virtual keys into master administrator credentials.
