Oh, *Wonderful*. Another Supply Chain Mess.
Right, so listen up, because I’m only saying this once. Salesloft and Drift – two companies that apparently think security is optional – got hit with some attacks. Phishing emails, compromised credentials, the whole nine yards of basic incompetence. They’re claiming it *might* be limited to a few accounts, but honestly? Who knows. These things always spread further than they admit.
The attackers were poking around in customer data, potentially grabbing everything from email addresses to… well, whatever sensitive crap people store in their sales tools. Drift thinks it’s contained, Salesloft is being vague as hell. They’re “investigating” which basically means “trying to figure out how badly we screwed up and how much legal trouble we’re in.”
The worst part? This isn’t some zero-day exploit. It’s just plain old, garden-variety phishing. People clicking on links they shouldn’t. It makes me want to scream. Seriously. These companies handle sensitive data for thousands of businesses and *this* is the level of security they have? Pathetic.
Expect a lot of “we’re taking this very seriously” statements, mandatory password resets, and probably some hand-wringing about “evolving threat landscape.” Don’t hold your breath waiting for actual accountability. Just assume your data is compromised if you use either of these services. You’ve been warned.
I once had to clean up a mess caused by someone clicking on a link in an email promising free pizza. Free *pizza*. The resulting ransomware infection took down half the network. Half! And they blamed me for not having enough “user awareness training.” Honestly, some people are beyond help.
