The image features a detailed illustration of a shark's head, focusing on its open mouth and sharp teeth. The shark's skin is depicted in a smooth, light gray color, with a darker blue background suggesting an underwater environment. The mouth is wide open, revealing numerous pointed teeth, some of which are highlighted in a close-up inset. The inset shows a single shark tooth, measuring between 1.5 to 2.5 inches in size, with a triangular shape and serrated edges. The tooth's coloration ranges from white to a pale yellowish hue, with a darker tip. The overall composition emphasizes the shark's predatory nature and the formidable size of its teeth.

Hackers Threaten to Submit Artists' Data to AI Models If Art Site Doesn't Pay Up
An old school ransomware attack has a new twist: threatening to feed data to AI companies so it’ll be added to LLM datasets.Artists&Clients is a website that connects independent artists with interested clients. Around August 30, a message appeared on Artists&Clients attributed to the ransomware group LunaLock. “We have breached the website Artists&Clients to steal and encrypt all its data,” the message on the site said, according to screenshots taken before the site went down on Tuesday. “If you are a user of this website, you are urged to contact the owners and insist that they pay our ransom. If this ransom is not paid, we will release all data publicly on this Tor site, including source code and personal data of users. Additionally, we will submit all artwork to AI companies to be added to training datasets.”
LunaLock promised to delete the stolen data and allow users to decrypt their files if the site’s owner paid a $50,000 ransom. “Payment is accepted in either Bitcoin or Monero,” the notice put on the site by the hackers said. The ransom note included a countdown timer that gave the site’s owners several days to cough up the cash. “If you do not pay, all files will be leaked, including personal user data. This may cause you to be subject to fines and penalties under the GDPR and other laws.”
Most of LunaLock’s threat is standard language for a ransomware attack. What’s new is the explicit threat to give the site’s data—which includes the unique artwork and information of its users—to AI companies. “This is the first time I see a threat actor use training AI models as part of their extortion tactic,” Tammy Harper, a senior threat intelligence researcher at the cyber security company Flare, told 404 Media. “Before this it was kind of an assumption that victim data could end up being shared through AI models. Especially if the groups use it to find leverage and process the data to calculate ransom amounts.”
Harper said that this kind of threat could be effective against artists. “It’s a very sensitive subject for this type of victim (an art marketplace.) LunaLock is definitely using and hoping for the clients and artists of the victim to pressure them into paying the ransom.”

It’s unclear how LunaLock would get the artistic data to AI companiesOf course, it might be as simple as setting up an independent website full of the data on the open web and waiting for one of the LLMs crawlers to come and devour the information. Or just starting a chat with the companies’ respective chatbots and uploading the images, depending on each company’s policy on how they train their AIs based on user uploads.As of this writing, Artists&Clients is down and attempts to reach it trigger a Cloudflare error. But users and cyber security accounts are sharing screenshots of the ransomware note on social media. Google also indexed the ransom note and as of writing, it appears in the description of the site when you look it up in the search engine.
Artists&Clients did not respond to 404 Media’s request for a comment.
