Zeabur founder confirms four AI providers' keys were involved in October incident

Zeabur founder Yuanlin Lin confirmed in an Oct. 22 email to RuntimeWire that keys for OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini were involved in the company's October security incident, stating "We notified all four but have not received a response." Zeabur's own incident report had already named OpenAI and described suspected use of a customer's OpenAI key as a hypothesis, without establishing which keys were exfiltrated or used. Railway's Oct. 22 follow-up said investigators believe its attacker sought AI-provider keys for distillation.
