Google? Seriously?! Another Breach.
Oh, for the love of all that is holy… Google. Google got pwned. Again. Apparently some scumbags are still poking holes in their Salesforce instance – you know, the one place *everyone* targets because it’s full of customer and sales data. This isn’t a new thing; this has been going on for months now, with various companies getting their Salesforce stuff nicked.
What did they steal? Well, names, emails, work titles, phone numbers… the usual crap you don’t want floating around the dark web. They claim no user data or passwords were accessed (yeah right, who believes that?), but still. It’s a pain in the ass for everyone involved and just proves that even the biggest tech companies can’t secure a goddamn database.
They’re “investigating” – which means they’ll probably slap a band-aid on it and tell you everything is fine while quietly patching vulnerabilities. And of course, blaming some external actors. It’s always someone else’s fault, isn’t it?
Honestly, if you store sensitive data in Salesforce, you deserve whatever happens to you. Seriously. Get your security shit together.
Speaking of breaches, I once had to rebuild a server farm after some script kiddie managed to compromise the entire network because someone left a default password on a critical system. Default. Password. I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to prove how incompetent it can be.
