The famous Vercel platform was subjected to a serious security breach, not through a vulnerability in its systems, but through a third-party AI tool used by one of its employees. The tool is called Context.ai.
Vercel is the platform used by millions of developers worldwide to build and host websites and applications. The breach means that some project data may have been exposed.
The important lesson: AI tools we use daily may be a backdoor for hackers. Every time you add a smart tool to your workflow, potential weak points increase.
