Data breach investigation

Fireworks AI Data Breach Investigation

Notion AI users and workspace administrators · Customer and business inquiries

Hall Attorneys is investigating Fireworks AI’s disclosed security incident and reviewing Notion customer notifications about possible Notion AI chat exposure. We want to hear from Notion AI users, workspace owners and administrators, team members, direct Fireworks customers, and authorized business representatives with related notices, privacy concerns, or response costs. We are reviewing safeguards, notice practices, and potential legal claims, including whether a class action is warranted. Individual exposure remains under review.

Notion AI users and workspace administrators

A Notion customer notice provided to Hall Attorneys says the recipient’s workspace was among fewer than 1% of Notion workspaces that may have been affected by the Fireworks incident. It describes possible exposure of some Notion AI chat sessions. This is an attributed customer notification, not a finding that every user or chat in a notified workspace was involved.

The notice says the chats lacked author and workspace labels and did not include tool-call results. It says no other data within the workspace was affected. These statements concern the notice’s described scope; they are not our independent verification of the full incident or any particular person’s exposure.

The notice’s term unattributable refers to missing labels. It does not establish that the words in a transcript contain no names, personal details, credentials, or confidential business information. A workspace percentage is not a count or percentage of affected people.

Notion’s official subprocessor list identifies Fireworks as an AI infrastructure provider. That relationship alone does not establish exposure. A public recipient post reproduces similar notification language, but it is not an official public incident advisory. The excerpt provided for this review does not establish a complete chat-exposure window.

What has Fireworks disclosed?

Fireworks’ October bulletin says it detected unauthorized internal-credential use on October 6, 2026. Environment variables, including stored API keys and tokens used in evaluation jobs, were captured in a limited number of customer accounts.

The November 9 update expands the findings to account and billing information, with secrets, datasets, and incomplete model weights involved for certain accounts. It also describes an October 23 incident at a cloud provider hosting R&D machines, followed by unauthorized activity on Fireworks development machines on October 24 that caused additional customer-data impact.

These dates distinguish initial detection, later activity, and public updates; they do not establish the complete intrusion period or each customer’s exposure. The Information also reported the incident.

What information is involved, and what remains uncertain?

The updated notice identifies resource metadata and billing records, including addresses, invoice and payment history, balances, and credit usage. It also identifies access to some customers’ datasets and incomplete model weights. These categories do not establish that every account or every record within an account was accessed.

Fireworks says payment-card numbers were not stored or impacted and reports no detected impact to Inference, Training SDK, or Nexus. Those are product-specific findings from an ongoing investigation, not a guarantee that every Fireworks service, stored file, prompt, or customer was unaffected.

The November update expands the earlier assessment. The original bulletin’s statements about no detected model, dataset, or personal-information access should not be treated as current blanket exclusions. Default zero-data-retention settings do not establish protection for every product, workflow, or stored dataset.

We have not independently determined the affected-person total, each account’s exposure, whether a particular credential was misused, or the extent of any downstream access. A customer relationship, an unfamiliar charge, or use of an app connected to Fireworks does not establish that connection by itself.

Fireworks’ product-specific findings and the Notion notice describe their respective reviews. We have not mapped the reported Notion chat material to a particular Fireworks storage or processing path. A general product finding should not be used to disregard a workspace-specific notice, and that notice does not establish exposure of all Notion content.

Who should contact Hall Attorneys?

We would like to hear from individual users, developers, account administrators, and authorized representatives of businesses or organizations who:

  • Received a Notion workspace notice about Fireworks, or have an incident-related concern about Notion AI chats or an Insights feature identified in your notice.
  • Received a Fireworks incident notice or a notice from another application identifying Fireworks as an involved vendor.
  • Stored secrets, evaluation data, datasets, or model materials with Fireworks and have an incident-related concern.
  • Identified unauthorized API, AI, cloud-service, or account charges with information suggesting a connection to exposed credentials.
  • Experienced restrictions, interrupted workflows, or documented investigation, credential-rotation, containment, replacement, or remediation costs.
  • Have concerns about personal information included in account, billing, or customer-provided materials identified in a notice.

Notion workspace owners, administrators, members, and people who used Notion AI through an employer may contact us, as may authorized organizational representatives. You do not need to share chat contents to begin a review.

Businesses do not need a plan named Enterprise or a completed internal investigation to request a review. People who used a service through an employer or another application may also contact us. Describe the relevant notice, account, workflow, and dates before sending records.

Using an AI application alone does not establish that Fireworks handled your information or that it was exposed. We do not assume every customer of a Fireworks customer was affected. A notice is useful evidence, but neither a notice nor a business relationship automatically establishes a legal claim or entitlement to compensation.

What should customers check now?

Notion users should verify a notice through a known workspace administrator or official Notion support. If your account offers a review of potentially affected material, use verified account instructions rather than an unsolicited link. If a relevant chat contained credentials, work with your security team and the issuing provider to rotate them; do not send those values to us.

The November update says self-service dataset uploads and downloads for Batch Inference and dataset-based training were disabled during the investigation. Check current official instructions for your product rather than treating a dated notice as a guarantee of service availability.

The original bulletin directs affected customers to replace revoked Fireworks keys needed by their applications and rotate identified third-party credentials with the providers that issued them. Removing a stored secret does not revoke the underlying credential. Follow current account-specific instructions and update dependent applications.

Review associated access logs and resources you are authorized to inspect, including unfamiliar keys, users, evaluation or training activity, and datasets. A key may require rotation even when no suspicious activity is visible. Work with your organization’s security team and the issuing provider as appropriate.

Use the official bulletin or a known provider contact to verify notices. The November update gives security-notice@fireworks.ai for incident questions. Requesting a legal review does not submit a support ticket, revoke credentials, restore data, or stop unauthorized use; do not delay protective action while awaiting a review.

How are business expenses and potential losses reviewed?

Describe unauthorized charges separately from ordinary subscription, training, or inference spending. Normal API or cloud usage is not, by itself, a loss caused by this incident. Preserve records showing why a charge or response expense appears related, and identify any credits, refunds, insurance payments, or reimbursements.

Our review may include account terms, security representations, the timing and content of notices, incident-related response work, and any loss or misuse of protected information. These are issues under investigation, not findings of liability, proof that a model was permanently lost, or a promise of recovery.

What records should you preserve?

Keep notices, relevant invoices, account alerts, suspicious messages, support correspondence, and records of credential changes, restrictions, and response costs. For Notion, preserve the original notification and its date and note your workspace role and whether you used Notion AI. Note whether you were a direct customer, an administrator, a business representative, or a user of another application. Describe logs and account records before sending copies.

Do not send API keys, tokens, passwords, secret values, environment-variable files, model weights, training or evaluation datasets, confidential prompts or outputs, customer records, or complete payment information in an initial inquiry. Keep only records you are authorized to access. We can discuss what is needed and an appropriate way to provide it.

Contact Hall Attorneys about Fireworks AI

Provide your name, state or country of residence, a safe way to reach you, and your relationship to Fireworks, Notion, or the application that notified you. For a Notion inquiry, describe your workspace role and whether you received a notice without providing chat transcripts. For a business inquiry, include the organization’s name and your role. Identify a product or workflow in general terms without disclosing protected customer or model information.

Tell us whether you received a notice, the approximate dates, and a brief description of any privacy concern, access restriction, unauthorized charges, or response expenses. You may contact us before identifying every charge or completing remediation. Let us know whether it is safe to leave a voicemail.
