Fireworks AI data breach affects Notion users

The company Notion has reported a security incident at its partner Fireworks AI, which led to the exposure of some users' data. As a result of the failure, unattributed chat transcripts from the built-in AI became accessible to unauthorized parties.

According to the company, the leak affected less than 1% of all existing workspaces. The exact number of affected accounts and the volume of the leak were not specified, but the platform promptly notified the affected customers.

To check their security status, owners of affected accounts can use a new dedicated 'Security incident review' page in the service interface. It provides information on whether their data was compromised during the third-party incident.

The incident highlights the risks associated with delegating the processing of sensitive user data to third-party infrastructure and language model providers.
