Or the simpler answer, their db/email list has been compromised.

And BrowserStack either doesn't know this or knows this and isn't telling. Still bad, in my opinion.

#5BrightData 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.

(OP here) Nope! For all their faults, Amazon don't seem to have leaked anything of mine. Yet.

#8This is beyond outrageous. And the data leak angle they’re pushing doesn’t make sense either.

The simplest answer is they are voluntarily being scum and selling user data to make a quick buck. It’s almost universally true.
