Hackers claim they have stolen 1 billion records from Salesforce customer databases, software company replies
An English-speaking hacking group — operating under names like Lapsus$, Scattered Spider, and ShinyHunters – has launched a dedicated data leak website on the dark web to extort its victims, a report has said, adding that the group, now calling the site Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters, is threatening to release approximately one billion records stolen from companies using cloud databases hosted by Salesforce.
According to a report by TechCrunch, the website, spotted by threat intelligence researchers on Friday (October 3), is designed to pressure victims into paying a ransom to prevent the publication of their stolen data.
