A user was able to access another users source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and customer data are all readable by any free account.

They accessed another user's profile, listed their public projects, and downloaded the source code of an admin panel for Connected Women in AI, a real danish nonprofit. the project was last edited 10 days ago. the developer has 3,703 edits this year. this is not abandoned. this is active.

They extracted the database credentials from the source code and queried it. got back real names, real companies, real linkedin profiles. speakers from Accenture Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. not test data. not "John Doe". real people at real companies who have no idea their information is exposed.

Lovable patched this for new projects. they never patched it for existing ones.

A project created in April 2026 returns 403 forbidden. The same developer's older project, actively edited 10 days ago, returns 200 OK with the full source tree. same API. Same endpoint. same free account. same session. one is protected. the other is wide open.

The first hackerone report was filed March 3, 2026. Lovable marked it triaged, then they shipped ownership checks for new projects and left every existing project exposed. 48 days later nothing has changed. He also claims that every conversation you have with lovable's AI is stored and readable through the same bug.

A user on X had tweeted today (hence deleted) that their confidentiality was breached when blinkit swapped their sensitive visa documents with someone else's application.

Blinkit, Zomato's quick-commerce app, lets customers upload PDFs for fast prints from dark stores, but a recent complaint about printing visa documents highlighted risks as operators review files, check them before packing, and store data.

Others shared mishaps like receiving a child's political map instead of court papers or a stranger's bank statements and PAN details. While Blinkit apologizes and claims to delete files after printing, many advise against using it for confidential info, favoring personal printers instead.

The platform is positioned as a new competitor to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, especially by introducing a free business email service for companies, calendar, and directory services for up to 500 users.

Meta's planning these cuts (per Reuters) to offset exploding AI infrastructure costs, such as billions in data centers, GPUs, and training for their Llama models and AGI push, while betting AI tools will supercharge productivity so fewer employees can handle the load.

No date has been set for the cuts and the magnitude has not been finalized, the people said.

If Meta settles on the 20% figure, the layoffs will be the company's most ​significant since a restructuring in late 2022 and early 2023 that it dubbed the "year of efficiency." It employed nearly 79,000 people as ​of December 31, according to its latest filing.

The company laid off 11,000 staffers in November 2022, or around 13% of its workforce at the time. Around four months later, it announced it was cutting another 10,000 jobs.

The relocation comes more than a decade after Flipkart moved its headquarters overseas. The company is targeting a stock market debut in India in the financial year ending March 2027, people familiar with the company told TechCrunch.

Walmart-owned Flipkart’s IPO plans come as the country’s e-commerce market expands rapidly, thanks to a growing internet user base that’s already crossed a billion subscribers. The relocation mirrors a broader trend of Indian startups, including Zepto and Groww, relocating their overseas holding structures back home in recent years as they seek to go public. Groww went public last year, while Zepto filed confidentially for an IPO in December.

Flipkart’s gross merchandise value reached about $30 billion in 2025, sources told TechCrunch, up from roughly $23 billion in 2021. The platform has more than 500 million customers and 1.6 million sellers across the country, while its logistics arm Ekart delivers to more than 22,000 PIN (Postal Index Number) codes nationwide.

Founded in 2007 in Bengaluru, Flipkart was one of several Indian startups to set up overseas holding structures as they sought to attract foreign investment, benefit from tax advantages, and better navigate India’s regulatory environment at the time. In 2018, Walmart acquired a majority stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.

India has been encouraging more technology companies to list domestically as companies seek greater regulatory clarity and simpler tax structures by moving their headquarters back home.

Flipkart announced plans to move its headquarters back to India in April 2025. By September, the restructuring had received in-principle approval from a Singapore court, while hearings related to the shift were also held before India’s National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch at the time.

“Flipkart has received Government of India approval for its internal restructuring, pursuant to which Flipkart Internet Private Limited is now the holding entity of the Flipkart group. This completes the redomiciliation of the Flipkart group to India, a significant milestone that reflects our deep and long-term commitment to India,” a company spokesperson said.
