Oh, For Fucking Christ Sake. More Hackers.
Right, listen up you lot. The FBI – yes, those clowns – have issued a warning about two groups, lovingly nicknamed UNC6040 and UNC6395 (because apparently real names are too hard), who are actively poking around in Salesforce instances. Like it’s news that someone is trying to steal data from *Salesforce*. Groundbreaking stuff.
UNC6040, the more sophisticated bunch of assholes, are using stolen credentials – shocker! – and then doing a whole lot of reconnaissance before grabbing customer data. They’re slow about it, apparently preferring to be sneaky instead of just brute-forcing everything. Idiots.
UNC6395 is even less subtle. They’re basically spamming login pages with stolen credentials hoping something sticks. It’s like watching a toddler try to pick a lock with a banana. Pathetic, but effective enough against people who use “password” as their password.
Both groups are after Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Salesforce data for… well, you guessed it: financial gain. They’re selling the stolen info on the dark web. Original, right? The FBI suggests multi-factor authentication (MFA), strong passwords, and monitoring your logs. You mean… basic security practices? Who knew?!
Honestly, if you’re still getting breached after this, I have no sympathy. None. Get your shit together.
Speaking of incompetence, I once had to rebuild a server farm because some “security expert” thought it was a good idea to store all the database passwords in a plain text file labeled “IMPORTANT PASSWORDS DO NOT DELETE”. Seriously. I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to prove my cynicism correct.
