Technology
A new study says thousands of apps built with AI tools like Lovable, Replit, Base44, and Netlify are putting users' sensitive information at risk.

As RedAccess co-founder Dor Zvi put it, "This is one of the biggest events ever where people are exposing corporate or other sensitive information to anyone in the world."
