Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Launch Leak Site Targeting Salesforce Customers, Set Oct. 10 Deadline

Investigators say the campaign relies on stolen OAuth tokens, not a Salesforce platform flaw.

Overview

  • The Tor-hosted site lists 39 organizations and threatens to publish their Salesforce-linked data unless the CRM provider or listed companies pay.
  • Salesforce says it has found no evidence its platform was compromised and describes the extortion claims as tied to past or unsubstantiated incidents.
  • Leaked samples reviewed by researchers contain extensive personal data, with some entries including passport numbers and Social Security numbers.
  • Analysts attribute access to vishing and abused third-party integrations involving OAuth tokens such as Salesloft/Drift, and the FBI has issued notifications to help detection.
  • The group is escalating pressure with legal-threat rhetoric against Salesforce and a crowdsourced harassment offer of $10 in Bitcoin to target executives.
