Notion Notifies Customers of Data Exposure Following Fireworks AI Breach Linked to LLMJacking

Notion is notifying a small set of customers that their information was compromised in a data breach involving Fireworks AI. Fireworks AI, a cloud platform for running and fine-tuning open source AI models, suffered two separate intrusions in October. The first involved compromised internal credentials, while the second occurred on October 24 through a third-party cloud provider hosting Fireworks R&D machines and was tied to rising LLMJacking activity. Attackers executed an unauthorized workload that led to the compromise of Notion AI chat transcripts used for the Insights feature. Fewer than 1% of Notion workspaces were affected, and most transcripts could not be attributed to specific customers or workspaces. Notion has advised affected users to treat the data as exposed and rotate any credentials that may have been shared in chats during the incident period.

Notion is notifying a small set of customers that their information was compromised in a data breach involving Fireworks AI. A cloud platform for running and fine-tuning open source AI models, Fireworks AI was hacked twice in October: once through compromised internal credentials, and once through a third-party cloud provider that was hosting Fireworks R&D machines.

The second incident, linked to a recent rise in LLMJacking activity, occurred on October 24, when the attackers executed an unauthorized workload leading to the compromise of customer data. Fireworks contained the incident the same day and notified Notion on November 2 that Notion AI data had been accessed. Prior to the incident, Notion used Fireworks as a general inference provider for delivering open-weight models.

Notion’s investigation into the compromised data determined that the hackers accessed Notion AI chat transcripts used for the Insights feature, which helps customers understand their AI usage. Fewer than 1% of Notion workspaces were affected, and most of the transcripts were unattributable to a customer or the workspace they came from.

“Beyond what’s in the chat transcript itself, there’s no information tying the chat back to workspaces, users or companies,” Notion says. The company has contacted the affected customers with instructions on how to securely retrieve and review the data in their workspaces, but did not disclose how many customers were affected.

“We recommend treating this data as exposed. If you pasted sensitive information, passwords, API keys, or other credentials into Notion AI during the incident, rotate any exposed credentials,” Notion tells customers.
