Zeabur breach: attacker read 3.2 million stored secrets and data on 321,810 accounts

Zeabur said an attacker using leaked internal credentials read its platform database on October 14-15, 2026 — 3,218,965 stored environment-variable records and data on 321,810 accounts. The attacker also signed in as root to 101 customer servers. Zeabur has revoked the credentials used, signed out every user, and revoked all platform Access Tokens and all zSend API keys. The platform shuts down December 31, 2026, with shared-cluster services pausing from December 1.

Who is affected: Zeabur users — 321,810 accounts in total. The data read included environment-variable names and values, and account email addresses, usernames and phone numbers.

The one action that matters: replace every password and key stored in your Zeabur environment variables — revoke each old credential with its service provider first, then create a new one and redeploy. Do not wait for a notification email.
