Google confirms data breach after cyberattack on Salesforce database: What's leaked
Google has confirmed that one of its Salesforce systems used for storing small and medium business contact data was briefly compromised by a cybercriminal group known as UNC6040, which uses voice phishing or 'vishing', to trick employees into handing over access to sensitive tools. The attackers used a social engineering technique where they impersonated IT support staff during phone calls, convincing employees to authorise malicious software connected to their Salesforce environment. This allowed the group to access and extract basic business contact details, most of which, Google says, were already publicly available, before the breach was detected and stopped. Notably, the group behind the attack, UNC6040, is known for targeting Salesforce platforms by abusing tools like the 'Data Loader' app, a legitimate application that allows bulk data handling. In many cases, the hackers use fake versions of this app with misleading names, such as 'My Ticket Portal,' to avoid detection during the phishing calls. In an evolving trend, the group has shifted from using official Salesforce tools to custom-made Python scripts for data theft, making it harder to trace their activity. They also reportedly use VPNs and the dark web network TOR to hide their identity and location. Another linked group, UNC6240, has followed up on these data thefts with extortion attempts, often contacting company employees by email or phone, demanding bitcoin payments within 72 hours. These messages claim to be from the hacking group 'ShinyHunters,' a name familiar in the cybercrime world. Google's threat intelligence unit believes the extortion group may soon launch a website to publicly leak stolen data, a common pressure tactic among cybercriminals. The broader concern is that these attacks do not exploit flaws in Salesforce itself but rather human error, tricking employees into allowing access through seemingly routine IT support calls. Companies are being urged to tighten access controls, restrict permissions to sensitive tools, limit app installations, and train staff to recognise social engineering scams.

Google admits ShinyHunters steal data in Salesforce hack: 'The data retrieved by the threat actor was...'
Google has confirmed that a cyber criminal group broke into its Salesforce database. The tech giant said that hacking group popularly known as ShinyHunters , formally designated as UNC6040 is behind the breach. The company's Threat Intelligence Group published a blog post saying 'In June, one of Google's corporate Salesforce instances was impacted by similar UNC6040 activity'. However, it did not reveal the number of customers affected by the hack. 'Analysis revealed that data was retrieved by the threat actor during a small window of time before the access was cut off. The data retrieved by the threat actor was confined to basic and largely publicly available business information, such as business names and contact details,' the company said. How ShinyHunters hacked Google's Salesforce database The blog post said that Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has observed an evolution in UNC6040's TTPs. While the group initially relied on the Salesforce Dataloader application, they have since shifted to using custom applications. These custom applications are typically Python scripts that perform a similar function to the Dataloader app. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Lost My Passport in Rome. This $49 Device Would've Saved Me TrackIO Undo As explained in the post, the updated attack chain involves a voice call to enroll a victim, which the threat actor initiates while using Mullvad VPN IPs or TOR. Following this initial engagement, the data collection is automated and through TOR IPs, a change that further complicates attribution and tracking efforts. GTIG observed that the threat actor shifted from creating Salesforce trial accounts using webmail emails to using compromised accounts from unrelated organizations to initially register their malicious applications.
