🔒 The ShinyHunters extortion group claims they stole approximately 1.5 billion Salesforce records from 760 companies by abusing compromised Salesloft Drift and Drift Email OAuth tokens exposed in a Salesloft GitHub breach. The attackers reportedly accessed Account, Contact, Case, Opportunity, and User tables and searched exfiltrated data for secrets to pivot further. Google/Mandiant and the FBI are tracking the activity as UNC6040/UNC6395, and Salesforce urges customers to enable MFA, enforce least privilege, and manage connected apps carefully.

🔒 CrowdStrike describes how the Falcon platform delivers unified visibility and lifecycle defense across the full AI stack, from GPUs and training data to inference pipelines and SaaS agents. The post highlights integrations with NVIDIA, AWS, Intel, Dell, Meta, and Salesforce to extend protection into infrastructure, data, models, and applications. It also introduces agentic defense via Charlotte AI for autonomous triage and rapid response, and emphasizes governance controls to prevent data leaks and adversarial manipulation.

🔔 The FBI issued a FLASH advisory linking two threat clusters, UNC6040 and UNC6395, to intrusions of corporate Salesforce environments that resulted in data theft and extortion. Early campaigns relied on social engineering and malicious Data Loader OAuth apps to mass-exfiltrate Accounts and Contacts, while later activity used stolen Salesloft/Drift OAuth and refresh tokens to access support cases and harvest secrets. Multiple large enterprises were impacted and the FBI released IOCs to help organizations detect and mitigate compromise.

⚠️ The FBI released IoCs linking two threat clusters, UNC6040 and UNC6395, to a series of data theft and extortion attacks that targeted organizations' Salesforce environments. UNC6395 exploited compromised OAuth tokens tied to the Salesloft Drift app after a March–June 2025 GitHub breach, prompting Salesloft to isolate Drift and take its AI chatbot offline. UNC6040, active since October 2024, used vishing, a modified Data Loader and custom Python scripts to hijack instances and exfiltrate bulk data, while extortion activity has been associated with actors using the ShinyHunters brand.

🔐 The SalesLoft acquisition of Drift exposed a hidden fourth‑party attack surface when legacy OAuth tokens—some dormant for 18 months—were abused to access customer Salesforce instances and a limited number of Google Workspace accounts. Attackers leveraged inherited tokens to enumerate and exfiltrate data, revealing how M&A can transfer persistent permissions outside visibility. The author calls for continuous, behavior‑based monitoring of every OAuth token and API call and recommends practical "OAuth archaeology" to inventory, rotate, or revoke legacy access.

🔒 Recent Unit 42 analysis details ongoing data theft campaigns targeting Salesforce environments, notably a Salesloft Drift supply chain intrusion attributed to UNC6395 that may have started with reconnaissance as early as March 2025. Threat actors claiming links to Muddled Libra and Bling Libra have promoted stolen datasets on Telegram and announced new RaaS ambitions, while some channels were removed by September 5. Unit 42 emphasizes the prominence of social engineering by operatives tied to "The Com," predicts shifts toward data theft extortion and other monetization tactics, and recommends engagement with RH-ISAC, adoption of Salesforce mitigations, and use of Unit 42 incident insights to strengthen people and process defenses.

🔒 Salesloft says attackers first breached its GitHub account in March, enabling the theft of Drift OAuth tokens later abused to access customer systems. The stolen tokens were used in widespread Salesforce data-theft operations disclosed in August, affecting multiple enterprise customers. Salesloft engaged Mandiant, rotated credentials, isolated Drift infrastructure, and restored integrations after validating containment.

🔒 Salesloft says the breach tied to its Drift application began after a threat actor compromised its GitHub account. Google-owned Mandiant traced the actor, tracked as UNC6395, accessing the account from March through June 2025 and downloading repository content, adding a guest user and establishing workflows. Attackers then accessed Drift's AWS environment and obtained OAuth tokens used to reach customer data via integrations, prompting Salesloft to isolate Drift infrastructure and take the application offline on September 5, 2025. Salesloft recommends revoking API keys for third-party apps integrated with Drift, and Salesforce has restored most Salesloft integrations while keeping Drift disabled pending further remediation.

🔒 Salesloft has moved to take Drift offline after a supply‑chain compromise that resulted in the mass theft of OAuth tokens and unauthorized access to Salesforce data. Multiple large vendors — including Cloudflare, Google Workspace, PagerDuty, Palo Alto Networks, and Tenable — confirmed impact, and activity is attributed to clusters tracked as UNC6395 and GRUB1. The incident underscores how fragile integrations can be and the importance of token hygiene, rapid revocation, and enhanced monitoring to contain downstream exposure.

🔒 Workiva notified customers that attackers who accessed a third-party CRM exfiltrated a limited set of business contact data, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and support ticket content. The company said the Workiva platform and any data within it were not accessed or compromised. Workiva warned customers to remain vigilant for spear‑phishing and reiterated it will not request passwords by text or phone. BleepingComputer reported the incident is tied to recent Salesforce breaches attributed to the ShinyHunters group.

🔒 Cloudflare and Palo Alto Networks disclosed that threat actors accessed their Salesforce tenants via the third‑party Salesloft Drift app after compromising OAuth tokens. Cloudflare reported reconnaissance on 9 August 2025 and said data was exfiltrated from Salesforce case objects between 12–17 August 2025. The exposed fields principally contained support case text and business contact information; Cloudflare identified 104 API tokens and has rotated them, urging customers to rotate any credentials shared in cases. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group links the activity to UNC6395 and warns harvested data may be used for targeted follow‑on attacks.

🔒 Salesloft said it will temporarily take its Drift chatbot service offline after a supply-chain compromise led to the mass theft of OAuth and refresh tokens tied to the Drift AI chat agent. The outage is intended to allow a comprehensive security review and build additional resiliency; Drift chatbot functionality and access will be unavailable during the process. Salesloft is working with cybersecurity partners Mandiant and Coalition while investigators, including Google Threat Intelligence Group, attribute the campaign to UNC6395 and report that more than 700 organizations may be affected.

🔒 Cloudflare disclosed attackers accessed a Salesforce instance used for internal customer case management in a broader Salesloft Drift supply‑chain breach, exposing 104 Cloudflare API tokens and the text contents of support case objects. Cloudflare was notified on August 23, rotated all exfiltrated platform-issued tokens, and began notifying impacted customers on September 2. The company said only text fields were stolen — subject lines, case bodies and contact details — but warned customers that any credentials shared via support tickets should be considered compromised and rotated immediately.

🔒 Cloudflare confirmed that it and some customers were impacted by the Salesloft/Drift breach which exposed Salesforce support case text. The company found 104 Cloudflare API tokens in the exfiltrated data, rotated them, and observed no suspicious activity tied to those tokens. No Cloudflare infrastructure was compromised; affected customers were notified and advised to rotate any credentials shared in support tickets and to harden third-party integrations.

🔒 A sophisticated adversary exploited legitimate OAuth tokens issued to Salesloft's Drift chatbot integration with Salesforce, using the connection to silently exfiltrate customer data between August 8–18, 2025, according to Google Threat Intelligence Group. The campaign, attributed to UNC6395, leveraged trust in third-party integrations and service-to-service tokens to maintain covert access. Organizations should reassess OAuth governance, entitlement controls, and logging for SaaS integrations to reduce exposure.

🔒 Palo Alto Networks confirmed a Salesforce data breach after attackers abused OAuth tokens stolen in the Salesloft Drift supply-chain incident to access its CRM. The intruders exfiltrated business contact, account records and support Case data, which in some instances contained sensitive IT details and passwords. Palo Alto says products and services were not affected, tokens were revoked, and credentials rotated.

🔒 Palo Alto Networks confirmed a Salesforce CRM breach after attackers used compromised OAuth tokens from the Salesloft Drift incident to access its instance. The intrusion was limited to Salesforce and exposed business contacts, account records and portions of support cases; technical attachments were not accessed. The company quickly disabled the app, revoked tokens and said Unit 42 found no impact to products or services.

🔐 Palo Alto Networks confirmed last week that a breach of Salesloft’s Drift third‑party application allowed unauthorized access to customer Salesforce data, affecting hundreds of organizations including Palo Alto Networks. We immediately disconnected the vendor integration from our Salesforce environment and directed Unit 42 to lead a comprehensive investigation. The investigation found the incident was isolated to our CRM platform; no Palo Alto Networks products or services were impacted, and exposed data primarily included business contact information, internal sales account records and basic case data. We are proactively contacting a limited set of customers who may have had more sensitive data exposed and have made support available through our customer support channels.

⚠️ Unit 42 observed a campaign that abused the Salesloft Drift integration using compromised OAuth credentials to access and exfiltrate data from customer Salesforce instances. The actor performed large-scale extraction of objects including Account, Contact, Case and Opportunity records and scanned harvested data for credentials. Salesloft revoked tokens and notified affected customers; organizations should immediately review logs, rotate exposed credentials and hunt for the provided IoCs.

🔒 Zscaler has disclosed that OAuth tokens tied to the third-party Salesloft Drift application were stolen, allowing an attacker to access its Salesforce instance. The company said exposed data included business contact details, job titles, phone numbers, regional information, product licensing and some plain-text support case content, but not attachments or images. Zscaler revoked the app's access, rotated API tokens, implemented additional safeguards and urged customers to remain vigilant for phishing and social-engineering attempts.
