Vercel, an American cloud development platform, confirmed a security breach on Sunday, revealing unauthorized access to data affecting a limited subset of customers. The breach was traced back to a compromised Google Workspace account of an employee, exploited through a vulnerability in the third-party AI platform Context.ai. Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch stated that hackers infiltrated internal systems rapidly, suggesting the use of AI-driven tools to identify vulnerabilities. The attackers, believed to be linked to the group ShinyHunters, are attempting to sell the stolen data, which includes source code and API keys, for $2 million on BreachForums. Despite the breach, Vercel assures that sensitive data remains encrypted. The company has initiated a thorough investigation, collaborated with Google's Mandiant team, and is implementing new security measures to protect customer data. Affected customers have been advised to change their passwords and monitor access logs to mitigate unauthorized activity.
