Apify, a Czech web scraping and browser automation platform, has rotated critical internal secrets and revoked third-party OAuth connections following unauthorized access to its internal systems.
The incident occurred between November 9 and 10, 2026, and was detected the next day at 12:13 UTC. Upon discovery, the company immediately terminated the attacker's access and initiated an investigation to assess the full impact.
Apify's response measures included invalidating internal credentials, rotating API tokens, resetting all active sessions, and revoking OAuth connections to external integrations such as GitHub out of an abundance of caution. Impacted users will be notified via email once reconnection is deemed safe.
The platform, which experienced significant growth due to the generative AI boom, serves approximately 80,000 customers including Microsoft, Samsung, T-Mobile, Accenture, Siemens, the European Commission, and Roche. These organizations rely on Apify for collecting data from websites, search results, and social media posts.
In notifications sent to affected customers, Apify confirmed that no account data stored on its platform appeared to have been compromised. However, customers' Apify API tokens and Apify Proxy passwords were rotated as a precautionary step. Recipients were also instructed to reset their two-factor authentication (2FA) settings through the Apify Console, as 2FA codes may have been exposed, although passwords remain secure.
