On 8/25 we were made aware of a vulnerability in Arc by @xyz3va. On 8/26 this vulnerability was fixed - thankfully no Arc members were affected.
Firstly, I want to apologize for this vulnerability and our communications surrounding it. I’m not proud that this happened, but I do want to take this as a moment to share how we will learn and improve. How we — as a team, and I personally — will make sure these types of incidents don’t happen again. Trust is crucial to us as Arc users and builders.
You can find a full incident analysis from our team linked below, including what happened, mitigations, and next steps.
If you have any questions please feel free to DM me or write in to us at [email protected]. We will integrate all of your questions, thoughts, and feedback into our larger discussions and full retrospective.
Last, a heartfelt thanks for all the concern (and even outrage) you've all expressed about this incident, and for holding us to a high standard. We'll be using this opportunity to grow as a company, as an engineering organization, and personally as a founder. Thanks again and more to come soon.

I’m so proud of this team! Big day today as our first Windows beta invites go out.
It's also a big day for the Swift on Windows! Arc on Windows is built in Swift, and shares a majority of its code with macOS. Our codebase is also now cross-platform, making future ports easier!
We’re dedicated to sharing our work @browsercompany - so today we’re publishing our first post on building rich native experiences on Windows with Swift & open sourcing our swift-firebase repo
First up, interoperability! Windows APIs, COM, C++ and how they integrate with Swift🧵
We wrapped our first ever @browsercompany Windows offsite last week!
I gave a mini update in All Hands yesterday.. and thought why not share behind the scenes with you too?
We're sprinting hard to get Arc onto Windows in 2023 — exact timing still 🤐!
🪟more below & next week🪟

DM me please!!
@jenna https://t.co/TxDo0xTOl4 might fit depending on how many things you’re tracking. it works well for me for ~3. it’s “simple” in functionality but a bit complex in ui.
Big browser welcome to @dolapo, our new Head of Engineering! A kind soul who's built awesome products from Google Reader to IG & Slack.
Tech interviews are stressful, so we we had @hursh interview him *after* he joined to get the full story!
