AI Inference Platform Fireworks Hacked Again, Some Customer Data Leaked

Nov. 10: According to Forbes and other media reports, Nvidia-backed AI inference infrastructure company Fireworks said Monday that hackers had accessed some customers' datasets and models over the past month, with the leaked information involving billing and account information, addresses, payment records and some unfinished AI models. Fireworks attributed the incident to "LLMjacking" (stealing access to AI models and reselling it), and is currently cooperating with Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 on the investigation. The company disclosed in early October that internal credentials had been used without authorization, and on October 24 a separate wave of attacks hit its R&D data storage. Fireworks has about 10,000 enterprise customers, including Uber, Shopify and Cursor, and was valued at $17.5 billion in July this year.
