Vercel breach: Hacker demands $2M ransom from cloud development platform

The hacker behind the attack, who claims to be affiliated with the notorious ShinyHunters group, is selling data stolen from Vercel for $2 million. The group has been in the news lately for targeting Rockstar Games, makers of Grand Theft Auto (GTA). The hackers have alleged that the data they stole could be used to launch a major global supply chain attack.

In light of the security breach, Vercel has urged its customers to check their environment variables for sensitive information and rotate secrets if necessary. The company has also released updates to its dashboard, including a new interface for managing sensitive environment variables. Despite the incident, Vercel's core services remain unaffected as it works with impacted customers and informs law enforcement agencies about the matter.
