flag Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters demands $989.45 to prevent release of 1 billion Salesforce records from 40 firms, citing third-party breaches.

flag A cybercriminal group calling itself Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters has resurfaced, threatening to release 1 billion Salesforce records from about 40 companies unless a $989.45 ransom is paid by October 10. flag The group claims to have accessed data through compromised third-party integrations, particularly Salesloft Drift, using phishing and social engineering. flag Salesforce denies its platform was breached, stating attacks targeted users and third-party apps, not its infrastructure. flag Google and the FBI confirm the campaign’s tactics, which include posting sample data on a dark web site. flag Affected organizations were notified, and at least 14 lawsuits have been filed against Salesforce. flag The group’s name references past cybercrime gangs now linked to ongoing activities despite arrests.
