Workday’s CRM Slip-Up: ShinyHunters Dance Through Security Gaps!
Workday assures that its core systems are safe after attackers accessed a third-party CRM platform. The breach involved social engineering, but customer data is reportedly secure. The attackers snagged basic business contact info, perfect for phishing. Looks like cybercrime gangs are collaborating and plotting over a nice cup of malware.
Hot Take:
Looks like “ShinyHunters” are at it again, and this time they’ve got their paws on Workday’s third-party CRM! While Workday is scrambling to reassure everyone that their core systems are untouched, they might want to consider renaming themselves “Worknight”—because their employees will be pulling some late ones cleaning up this mess. Remember, folks: if a stranger calls claiming to be IT, it’s not rude to hang up; it’s survival!
Key Points:
– Workday admits attackers accessed a third-party CRM platform but insists core systems are safe.
– The breach involved social engineering, with attackers posing as HR or IT staff.
– No sensitive customer data from Workday’s SaaS apps was compromised.
– The breach is linked to ShinyHunters, known for similar Salesforce-related incidents.
– Workday has notified affected customers and is enhancing its security measures.
