A major data breach at a fast-growing AI startup is raising broader concerns. Mercor, which works with companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, could become an early example of how supply-chain attacks in AI lead to large-scale extortion attempts. Reports suggest threat actors may coordinate with ransomware groups to target affected companies more aggressively. It points to a new phase of risk. As AI ecosystems grow, vulnerabilities are no longer isolated, they can spread across entire networks. https://t.co/ANEHEE8T4g @fortunemagazine @beafreyanolan
