Vercel Security Incident Suspected to Be Related to Internal Database and Secret Key Leakage

23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist Technology, retweeted: “The unauthorized access to Vercel’s internal systems appears linked to an internal data leak.” The related tweet states that someone claiming to be “ShinyHunters” on BreachForums is offering for sale—reportedly for $2 million—a purported Vercel internal database, access keys, source code, employee accounts, API keys, NPM tokens, and GitHub tokens. The data allegedly pertains to Vercel’s internal Linear system and internal user management system. Earlier reports indicated that Vercel, a cloud hosting platform, disclosed unauthorized access to its internal systems, affecting a small number of customers.
