Cloud development platform Vercel was hacked
TL;DR
Vercel, a major platform for hosting and deploying web apps, has been compromised by hackers who are now attempting to sell stolen data. A person claiming to be a member of ShinyHunters – the group behind the recent Rockstar Games breach – posted stolen data online, including employee names and email addresses.
Nauti's Take
The Vercel breach is a useful reminder to audit how dependent your deployments are on centralized platforms – and whether fallback plans exist. The real risk: with employee data exposed, targeted phishing against developer teams is the next logical move.
Teams should immediately rotate API keys, check MFA settings, and review Vercel access permissions.
