App host Vercel says it was hacked and customer data stolen


Cloud app hosting giant Vercel this weekend said hackers had breached its internal systems and accessed customer data.

In a statement on Sunday, Vercel said the breach originated from another software maker, Context AI. One of Vercel’s employees downloaded an app made by Context AI and connected it to their corporate account, which is hosted by Google. The hackers used that connection (known as OAuth) to take over the Vercel employee’s Google account and gain access to some of Vercel’s internal systems, including credentials that were not encrypted.
