Workday’s Day of Data Drama: Social Engineering Strikes Again!
Workday experiences a data breach through a third-party CRM system, part of a larger social engineering attack targeting big names like Adidas and Google. While no customer data was accessed, the breach highlights the cyber tactics of groups like Scattered Spider. Workday is boosting safeguards to prevent future incidents.
Hot Take:
Looks like Workday just got a crash course in the art of deception, courtesy of some very persistent and chatty cybercriminals. If only their CRM system had an “annoying salesperson” filter, they might have dodged this bullet. But hey, at least no one’s gunning for customer tenants this time. So, there’s that!
Key Points:
- Workday experienced a data breach through a third-party CRM system.
- The breach was part of a widespread social engineering campaign.
- Attackers obtained business contact information, not sensitive customer data.
- Cybercriminals used impersonation tactics to extract information.
- Workday has implemented additional security measures post-incident.
