Salesloft Got Pwned. Again.
Oh, joy. More incompetence. Apparently, Salesloft – those marketing automation clowns – had a massive OAuth screw-up thanks to some bullshit integration with Drift, an AI chat thingy. Basically, if you used Drift’s AI agent *while logged into Salesforce*, and Salesloft was also connected? Your data is probably floating around the internet now.
The gist of it: Drift’s AI feature could snag a long-lived OAuth token from Salesforce, giving attackers access to your Salesloft data. We’re talking emails, contacts, all that lovely stuff you *thought* was secure. It wasn’t. They found this shit in February, but didn’t tell anyone for *months*. Fantastic.
The fix? Revoke the Drift app’s access to Salesforce. Like, yesterday. And maybe question why you’re letting random AI tools near your critical business data in the first place. Honestly, it’s just asking for trouble. They claim they patched it and are notifying affected customers (eventually), but seriously, this is basic security hygiene people.
The worst part? This isn’t some zero-day exploit. It was a simple misconfiguration. A *simple* one. I swear, humans are the weakest link in any system. Always have been, always will be.

I once had to deal with a company that thought storing passwords in plain text was “good enough.” Good *enough*?! I spent three days rebuilding their entire infrastructure after they got ransomware because some intern clicked on a phishing link. Don’t be like them. Seriously, just…don’t.
