It is being reported from posts on dark web forms that the Everest ransomware group claims to have compromised internal and confidential information belonging to Coca-Cola, while the Gehenna hacking group claims to have breached Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ Salesforce database earlier this month.
According to their claims, the compromised data appears to be primarily related to the Middle East operations.
This group has previously been linked to high-profile attacks on organizations including NASA and the Brazilian government.
In a separate but potentially more damaging incident, the Gehenna hacking group claims to have successfully breached Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ Salesforce dashboard in early May 2025.
Javvad Malik, lead security awareness advocate at cybersecurity company KnowBe4, commented:
“The recent breaches at Coca-Cola and its Europacific Partners, claimed by the Everest and Gehenna hacking groups, highlight the vulnerability of internal systems and third-party platforms like Salesforce, emphasizing the need for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. It underscores the importance of not only robust technical defenses but also human-centric approaches to cybersecurity.
In response, organizations must prioritize data protection through layered and advanced security measures which can reduce the target area, educate and inform people of the dangers, create a culture which empowers people to make the right security decision, and protects the organization should an error occur.”
Another day, another incident that highlights the need for organizations of all sizes to prioritize defences that keep the bad guys out regardless of the attack vector. Because incidents like these are becoming way too frequent.
