Fireworks AI Was Hacked Twice. Here's Why It's Your Problem Too

Fireworks AI, which serves around 10,000 customers, was breached twice in a month. The first came through stolen employee credentials. The second came through a cloud provider hosting its R&D machines. Inference traffic wasn't touched, but for some customers, secrets, datasets, and incomplete model weights were exposed.

Why does a vendor's breach quietly become your problem? Because the model wasn't the target. The keys, datasets, and fine-tuned weights stored around it were. That's your software supply chain with a new logo.

If rotating a key is a fire drill instead of a button, you're already behind. Use short-lived credentials and scoped access, and treat your AI vendor's security as your own.
