AI website builder Studio hacked; user data and API keys leaked

AI summary

AI website-building platform Studio has been hacked, with information on all registered users potentially exposed, according to ITMedia. The leaked data reportedly includes Studio account details (usernames, email addresses and hashed passwords), content customers submitted through website forms, live preview links for unpublished pages, and authentication credentials and third-party service API keys stored in various settings. The attack is said to have taken place between September 30 and October 1; Studio found anomalies during an internal investigation on October 13 and fixed the flaw and closed the attack path by October 14, with the exact number of affected records still being verified. Studio said it has rotated credentials used for payments and login, has not found evidence of data tampering or deletion, and is still investigating whether accounts were illegally accessed or data misused. Public information shows the platform offers a visual editor, CMS, forms and Google Sheets integration, and had more than 900,000 users as of July 2026.

In-depth insight

For teams using AI site-building tools, it is a reminder that platform-side API keys and form data are high-risk assets worth rotating regularly.
