ShinyHunters’ Salesforce Shenanigans: Data Breach Drama Hits Big Brands
Salesforce emphasizes that the platform itself isn’t compromised, but rather customers are falling victim to social engineering attacks. The ShinyHunters extortion group has been exploiting this by using voice phishing, leaving companies like Qantas and Adidas in a data breach bind. Remember, folks, it’s not Salesforce, it’s you—so maybe enable that multi-factor authentication, eh?
Hot Take:
It seems like the ShinyHunters group is out here turning “extortion” into an art form with a splash of vishing and a sprinkle of Salesforce. Who knew cybercrime could be so… entrepreneurial?
Key Points:
- ShinyHunters are using voice phishing attacks to target Salesforce CRM instances.
- Companies like Qantas, Allianz Life, LVMH, and Adidas have been affected by these breaches.
