"Mercor admitted on March 31 that it was the target of a data breach, with a hacker group claiming to have obtained 4TB of stolen data from its systems."
"The data breach was attributed to a hack of the open source tool LiteLLM, which harbored credential harvesting malware for 40 minutes, allowing access to more software and accounts."
"Meta has paused its contracts with Mercor indefinitely, while OpenAI is investigating its exposure in the breach but has not yet paused or ended its contracts."
Mercor, valued at $10 billion after a $350 million Series C funding, is in turmoil following a data breach. A hacker group claims to have stolen 4TB of data, including sensitive information.

As a result, Meta has paused contracts with Mercor, while OpenAI is investigating its exposure but has not yet halted its contracts. The situation raises concerns about the security of AI data training companies.
