AI company Fireworks says hackers stole data, billing info during October breaches

Fireworks published an updated notice on Monday saying it hired Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 to investigate a data breach it initially discovered on October 6. The San Mateo-based company was founded in 2022 and has more than 10,000 customers, offering an array of AI systems and tools to companies. Investigators found that a well-known, financially motivated cybercriminal group launched the attack and stole account and billing information as well as secrets — confidential digital pieces of information that grant access to human users or apps and allow them to communicate or perform actions. Fireworks said the incident affected a “limited number of customer accounts” — all of whom were notified of the attack.
