Another Day, Another Data Breach (Because People Are Idiots)

Right, listen up. The FBI – yes, those guys – are flapping their gums about two hacking groups, UNC6040 and UNC6395, pilfering data from Salesforce instances. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking. Like leaving the keys to Fort Knox under a welcome mat is shocking.

Apparently, these chuckleheads are using compromised credentials – meaning someone’s password game is weaker than wet spaghetti – or exploiting OAuth 2.0 tokens (which, let’s be real, is just fancy talk for “poor security practices”). They’re after everything: account details, customer info, financial records… the whole shebang. They’re then using this stolen data for further attacks and, you guessed it, extortion.

The FBI says they’ve been at this since *at least* April 2023. April! So over a year of people getting screwed because someone couldn’t be bothered to use a strong password or enable MFA? Unbelievable. They’re targeting companies in various sectors, so no one is safe.

The fix? Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Strong passwords. Regular security audits. Basic fucking hygiene, people! The FBI’s “recommendations” are just common sense, but apparently that’s too much to ask for these days. They also suggest monitoring logs and being generally aware of suspicious activity. Like you weren’t already supposed to be doing that.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake.

Related Anecdote: I once had to rebuild an entire network because a user named their server “FluffyBunny69”. Seriously. FluffyBunny69. And they used that as the admin password too. You can’t make this shit up. It’s like people actively *try* to get hacked.
