Salesforce breach escalates: Qantas & Vietnam Airlines data leaked on dark web 

Outpost24 researchers have published an analysis on the recent developments surrounding the Salesforce data breach. The breach has continued to escalate, with Qantas and Vietnam Airlines data now being leaked on the dark web. 

The analysis dives into the exact timeline of events, the amount of data being leaked, the broader risk of these events, and how the threat actors behind this, Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, typically run their attacks. The researchers determined that this incident highlights two critical realities. 

One, that an organization’s security perimeter is no longer just the firewall, but all third party platforms that have access to company data and software. And two, that threat actors are increasingly targeting individuals to bypass technical controls. By exploiting insider employees, Scattered Lapsus$ and many other groups, are leveraging major data leaks. All because of effective social engineering.
