Notion has disclosed that a security breach at its AI infrastructure provider Fireworks AI exposed customer Notion AI chat transcripts belonging to a small number of workspaces.
The incident stems from an October 23 attack in which an attacker accessed Fireworks AI’s development environment via a third-party cloud provider. The compromise included resource metadata, billing information, model weights, and datasets for some customers. Fireworks AI had already suffered a separate breach in early October when hackers accessed environment variables containing API keys and tokens for a limited number of accounts.
Notion received an alert from Fireworks AI on November 2 regarding an exposed dataset that was initially reported to contain only synthetic test data. The company responded by cutting off all traffic to Fireworks AI, deleting all data from the vendor’s systems, and halting training runs by November 3. On November 8, Fireworks AI confirmed that real customer data had been accessed, including transcripts from Notion users.
Notion is a cloud-based workspace platform used for note-taking, document creation, internal wikis, project management, and task tracking. It incorporates an AI assistant capable of answering questions, summarizing content, and drafting text. Fireworks AI powers some of the open-weight models used by Notion AI and supports analysis of stored conversations for the Insights feature, which provides workspace administrators with visibility into how teams use AI.
The exposed transcripts originated specifically from the Insights dataset, which has now been disabled. Notion stated that the vast majority of impacted transcripts were unattributable, meaning they were not labeled with user or workspace information and did not contain tool call results. The company has published a FAQ page noting that Fireworks AI had contractually committed to zero data retention for Notion data.
Less than 1% of Notion users are affected. Impacted workspace owners can review exposed data through the Security incident review section in the desktop web interface and share download links with members. Notion recommends that affected users rotate any passwords, API keys, or other credentials that may have been entered into the exposed chats. Users who have not received a notification are likely not impacted.
