AI Summary

Security researchers have identified “Kriminal,” a criminal‑focused AI service that leverages models such as Grok and Claude to provide uncensored AI capabilities for as little as $12.99 a month. The platform operates as a publicly accessible SaaS offering on the clearnet, complete with pricing tiers, usage statistics and a cryptocurrency payment option, and it uses jailbreak prompts to bypass the underlying models’ guardrails. Kriminal advertises services including exploit development, OSINT, on‑chain tracing, social engineering and code generation. Researchers warn that the service signals a shift toward cheaper, AI‑driven offensive tools that could accelerate cybercrime.
