In December 2024, Cyberhaven fell victim to a sophisticated cyberattack that exploited a phishing campaign targeting its Chrome Web Store account. This breach compromised over 400,000 users by injecting malicious code into its browser extension, exfiltrating sensitive data such as cookies and session tokens. The incident has drawn significant attention due to Cyberhaven's role as a cybersecurity provider and the broader implications for browser extension security.

Data breaches cost companies an average of more than $4 million per incident—and that’s before considering the reputational fallout. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools have become indispensable for safeguarding sensitive data, especially as organizations embrace hybrid, remote, and cloud-first operations. Once limited to rules-based data classification, modern DLP has evolved into a powerful fusion of AI-driven classification and AI-based data lineage.
