ShinyHunters Strike Again: Google’s Salesforce Breach Adds to SMB Headache
Google’s Salesforce database breach by the ShinyHunters gang exposed small-and-medium-business details. While the criminals swiped contact info, Google insists it’s “largely publicly-available.” But wait, there’s more! ShinyHunters might be cooking up a data-shaming site to turn up the extortion heat. Keep your eyes peeled for updates from Google’s Threat Intelligence team.
Hot Take:
**_Looks like the ShinyHunters have been busy proving that even Google’s vault isn’t vampire-proof! Who knew a little Salesforce could lead to such a ghastly data suck? The Chocolate Factory might need to upgrade their Oompa Loompas to cyber-ninjas to guard against these digital trick-or-treaters._**
