You don't need to hack anything when the door was never locked. That's the story behind a new scan from the German research group Crissy Field, working with the business daily Handelsblatt, first reported November 2. The team pulled 159,041 Lovable projects out of the Common Crawl web archive, covering apps built between December 2025 and September 2026, and checked what their databases would hand over to a stranger with no credentials at all. buff.ly/g0qMmjz

This can't be good.

"But pressure to back promising new AI startups is upending that process, with investors sometimes paying wildly different prices for the same company. That means a company can notch multiple valuations simultaneously or in rapid succession, and sometimes only the higher number is made public.

These types of deals have proliferated in Silicon Valley, the center of the AI boom, and are now spreading to Europe. That is alarming some founders and investors who say inflated valuations can leave startups with little room to grow into their price tags, particularly in a region with fewer blockbuster exits." buff.ly/JABwaRh
