The company says the attack originated from a compromised ‘third-party AI tool.’

Vercel, a major development platform that hosts and deploys web apps, was compromised, and the hackers are attempting to sell stolen data. A person claiming to be a member of ShinyHunters, which was behind the recent hack of Rockstar Games, posted some data online, including employee names, email addresses, and activity time stamps. Vercel confirmed in a post on X that a “security incident” had occurred, and that it impacted a “limited subset” of its customers. Vercel said that a compromised third-party AI tool was the avenue for attack, though it did not specify which third party was involved.
