One Forgotten App. One Inbox Scope. One Pivot.
April 19, 2026. A small AI browser extension gets compromised. The attacker doesn't break Google. He doesn't crack a password. He just inherits the permission an employee handed that tool in a 2024 sign-up.
From the tool, into the Google Workspace. From the Workspace, into Vercel. From Vercel, into customer systems.
Nothing got "hacked" in the action-movie sense. An OAuth grant worked exactly as designed.
