KiranaPro lost customer data, app code, and payment info

Unproofread notes

On May 25, 2025, KiranaPro tweeted the below post on X:

🚫 We're not hiring — and won't be.

By the end of this year, KiranaPro will run with ZERO headcount — 100% AI-managed. 🤖💼

If you're DMing or emailing for jobs, just know:

The future doesn't need managers. It builds itself. ⚡️📦 #KiranaPro #AIfirst

And their entire codebase including users' data and app code got deleted a week later, but the thing is, it has nothing to do with AI here. It's a story of negligence and bad management.

The hackers got in through the ex-employee's account and then took over everything: AWS, GitHub, servers, and even customer data. They deleted the source code and wiped out the whole system, leaving no trace behind. The only access the company had left wasn't enough to fix or restore anything. Their basic security practices were weak – they didn't remove old accounts, didn't limit access properly, and used the same device for key systems.

I found a few good resources on the topic:

It seems, GitHub gave them the access to logs and they found out the guy that deleted the code. They will also be getting back their codebase from GitHub but I'm not sure what happens to the customer's data.
