Zapier, a popular automation tool, has suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the loss of sensitive customer information. The company's Head of Security sent a breach notification letter to affected customers, stating that an unnamed threat actor accessed some customer data "inadvertently copied to the repositories" for debugging purposes. Zapier assures that the incident was isolated and did not affect any databases, infrastructure, or production systems.
