Cyberattack on Fireworks AI allowed hackers to access Notion customers’ chat transcripts
Summary
Fireworks AI, a platform providing access to open AI models, suffered a cyberattack that exposed some customer data. The attacker breached Fireworks' cloud provider to access a development system, stealing billing information and datasets. Notion, an online document editor, confirmed it was affected: after being alerted by Fireworks, Notion disconnected its systems, deleted data, and stopped connectivity. The hackers obtained chat transcripts of Notion AI customers who used the "Insights" feature, though much of the data was unattributable. The breach affected about 1% of Notion's customers. Fireworks believes the hackers were financially motivated, aiming to sell access to large language models. This is the second breach for Fireworks in two months, highlighting how reliance on third-party providers can lead to spillover cyberattacks.
