Salesloft’s GitHub Gaffe: Hackers Swipe Tokens, Tech Titans Targeted
Hackers breached Salesloft’s GitHub in March, stealing authentication tokens for a mass attack on tech giants like Google and Cloudflare. While the incident is now contained, the six-month delay in detection raises serious security eyebrows. Remember, folks, even in the digital world, timing is everything—even for hackers!
Hot Take:
Salesloft’s GitHub breach is the latest episode in the never-ending soap opera of cybersecurity mishaps. If hackers were on a heist reality TV show, they’d be up for an Emmy for this production. Salesloft’s GitHub was the stage, the hackers were the stars, and the OAuth tokens were the coveted prize. Too bad for Salesloft, this isn’t the kind of publicity that wins awards – just a bunch of facepalms and head shakes.
