BrightData is another company offering hosted browsers who has also recently leaked private data, although they did email customers to warn them.

I wonder if both of these companies were compromised by a shared vulnerability in headless Chrome? Or else just a coincidence that 2 headless browser companies got hacked at the same time?

I run a headless browser fingerprinting project and have found that URLs that I only fetched via BrightData have subsequently had fetches by Anthropic's Claudebot.

I think most likely an attacker who has the customer data is using Claude to analyse it.

Brightdata? Isn't that the israeli firm formerly called luminati that sells you shady "high quality residential IPs" that you can rotate to scrape the web?
