Hackers are using a modified Salesforce app to trick employees and extort companies, Google says

Hackers are tricking employees at companies in Europe and the Americas into installing a modified version of a Salesforce-related app, allowing the hackers to steal reams of data, gain access to other corporate cloud services and extort those companies, Google said on Wednesday. The hackers – tracked by the Google Threat Intelligence Group as UNC6040 – have 'proven particularly effective at tricking employees' into installing a modified version of Salesforce's Data Loader, a proprietary tool used to bulk import data into Salesforce environments, the researchers said. The hackers use voice calls to trick employees into visiting a purported Salesforce connected app setup page to approve the unauthorized, modified version of the app, created by the hackers to emulate Data Loader. If the employee installs the app, the hackers gain 'significant capabilities to access, query, and exfiltrate sensitive information directly from the compromised Salesforce customer environments,' the researchers said. The access also frequently gives the hackers the ability to move throughout a customer's network, enabling attacks on other cloud services and internal corporate networks. Technical infrastructure tied to the campaign shares characteristics with suspected ties to the broader and loosely organized ecosystem known as 'The Com,' known for small, disparate groups engaging in cybercriminal and sometimes violent activity, the researchers said. A Google spokesperson told Reuters that roughly 20 organizations have been affected by the UNC6040 campaign, which has been observed over the past several months. A subset of those organizations had data successfully exfiltrated, the spokesperson said. A Salesforce spokesperson told Reuters in an email that 'there's no indication the issue described stems from any vulnerability inherent in our platform.' The spokesperson said the voice calls used to trick employees 'are targeted social engineering scams designed to exploit gaps in individual users' cybersecurity awareness and best practices.' The spokesperson declined to share the specific number of affected customers, but said that Salesforce was 'aware of only a small subset of affected customers,' and said it was 'not a widespread issue.' Salesforce warned customers of voice phishing, or 'vishing,' attacks and of hackers abusing malicious, modified versions of Data Loader in a March 2025 blog post.

Watch UEFA Nations League Semifinal Soccer: Livestream Germany vs. Portugal From Anywhere

Germany will look to take advantage of playing on home soil as they face fellow European heavyweights Portugal today in the first of this week's Nations League semifinals in Munich. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available where you are. Die Mannschaft booked their place in the last four of the tournament for the first time with a hard-fought 5-4 aggregate win over Italy in March's quarterfinals. Their opponents, 2019 champions Portugal, are aiming to become the first nation to win the Nations League twice, with Roberto Martinez's side having earned their spot in today's semifinal with a battling 5-3 aggregate victory over Denmark. Germany takes on Portugal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, June 4. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time in Munich, making it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST start on Thursday, June 5 in Australia.

How to watch the Germany vs. Portugal match online from anywhere using a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Nations League League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
