Full timeline through 2026

2025 — unauthorized publication access to scoped npm packages (supply-chain hardening wave)

Cataloged incident. In November 2025, Zapier published developer-facing incident notes describing unauthorized access to a subset of its public npm packages and coordinated mitigation (package rotations, CLI hygiene). The vendor stated end-user products continued to operate normally and that it had not seen evidence of data loss, positioning the event primarily as developer-publisher and dependency-integrity exposure rather than a customer-database breach. Exposed categories include none confirmed; developer package integrity and signing trust as the articulated risk. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the zapier-npm-packages2025 and canonical BreachHistory entry.

2025 — unauthorized access to internal code repositories; 2FA misconfiguration; tokens in repo history

Cataloged incident. Zapier disclosed late February 2025 activity in which an adversary used stolen employee credentials against source-control systems after a two-factor authentication misconfiguration reportedly left a workforce account reachable without full MFA enforcement. Vendor and trade coverage emphasized that core production databases were not breached but that some customer-touching secrets—including authentication tokens that staff had copied into repositories for troubleshooting—could have been read from Git history, promp Exposed categories include Repository-resident debugging artifacts including API/auth tokens for a bounded customer set per Zapier customer communications summarized in press. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the zapier-repository2025 and canonical BreachHistory entry.

What to do if you may be affected

  4. Step 4: Review OAuth app permissions and revoke unused third-party integrations.
  5. Step 5: Bookmark the Zapier company page for new 2026+ disclosures.
