🔒 Time to Re-Scrutinize Longstanding Platforms The FBI just issued an alert on Salesforce attacks (ic3.gov). It’s a reminder that even platforms we’ve trusted for years — and that are deeply embedded in business workflows — remain prime targets. Threat groups are exploiting social engineering, malicious “connected apps,” and OAuth tokens to bypass MFA and blend in as legitimate users. 👉 Key takeaway: longevity ≠ safety. Cyber teams should audit integrations, review connected apps, and tighten privileges on platforms that have become “too familiar.” How often does your org revisit trust in its oldest third-party tools? #cybersecurity #thirdpartyrisk #Salesforce #infosec

Salesforce has been a target as of late for exploitation. Threat actors target organizations across multiple verticals and seek to disrupt business continuity by targeting this application as it directly ties to sales.

Well, this was already supposed to be taken advantage of in sometime in the future. But, this came really early. On another note, it's been a day of constant leaks (hinting China!), more sensitive news and some more insights on how cyber ops is changing drastically. The threat landscape is now more, ever, complex.

As a customer of vendor victims we have to be aware that threat actors gain insight into what entrerprise and government agency tech is being used internally. This gives them info on how to compromise the enterprise. 😡
