Vercel says some customer data was stolen before the breach.

The hosting platform provided a new update on the recent compromise. It named Context.AI as the vector for the attack, found more customer data that had been stolen, and said it discovered that some accounts had been broken into during an earlier incident.

First, we have identified a small number of additional accounts that were compromised as part of this incident.
