Salesforce Stands Firm: No Ransom for Cyber Thieves Threatening 1 Billion Records!
Salesforce won’t budge against cybercriminals demanding ransom for nearly 1 billion customer records. With a firm “no” to paying, the CRM giant claims no platform compromise and continues working with affected customers. Meanwhile, the hackers are offering $10 in Bitcoin for anyone willing to “endlessly harass” execs.
Hot Take:
Well, who knew? Salesforce just pulled a “not today, Satan” on those ransom-hungry cyber villains! Instead of handing over a king’s ransom, they’ve decided to stand their ground and say “no” to cyber extortion. Maybe they should teach classes on how to grow a backbone in the face of digital threats. Bravo, Salesforce, bravo!
Key Points:
- Salesforce refuses to pay the ransom for nearly 1 billion allegedly stolen customer records.
- The threat actors, Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters, demand the ransom to prevent data leakage.
- Salesforce asserts there’s no evidence of a platform compromise or current vulnerabilities.
- ShinyHunters previously accessed Salesforce data via SalesLoft’s Drift application hack.
- Google and Salesforce are investigating and have alerted potentially affected organizations.
