Google Confirms ShinyHunters Breach of Its Salesforce CRM Instance, Limited Data Exposed

  • In June, Google acknowledged that hackers linked to the ShinyHunters group gained unauthorized access to one of its Salesforce systems containing data on small business customers.
  • The breach occurred amid a wider wave of Salesforce CRM attacks attributed to ShinyHunters, a group known for targeting major companies using voice phishing and social engineering.
  • Google stated the hackers accessed basic and largely public business information like names and contact details during a brief period before Google cut off access and began mitigations.
  • Google has not revealed how many customers were impacted or confirmed whether ransom demands were made, while ShinyHunters reported ongoing intrusions and indicated they may intensify their extortion efforts by launching a data leak website.
  • The breach highlights persistent vulnerabilities in cloud systems and cyber experts urge companies to strengthen phishing training and add multi-factor authentication to reduce risk.
