Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against a group of cybercriminals who bypassed safety measures in its generative AI tools, creating and trafficking harmful content.
The legal action mentions the infringement of several federal laws, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, seeking damages for harm caused.
Microsoft uncovered the scheme in July 2024, but the exact method of API key theft remains unclear; the criminals are described as a 'foreign-based threat-actor group'.
The court documents reveal measures for Microsoft to seize web domains linked to the criminal operation, vital for gathering evidence and disrupting their infrastructure.
