Fears of breaches in the supply chain targeting large companies as a mysterious electronic criminal friend known as Lapsus $ Hunters scattered as they stole nearly a billion details of a customer of Global Cloud Giant Salesforce.

Snements claim that they have received access by taking advantage of retail companies that use Salesforce programs, such as Marks & Spencer, Co-OP and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which were the targets of Ransomware attacks earlier this year, despite the denial of the Salesforce denying any violation of the system.

Salesforce denies the breach, indicates the targeting of customers

Salesforce emphasized that its infrastructure is still safe in a statement to its general.

Instead, it appears that the attackers persuaded the employees to allow access to the tools and environments related to the Salesforce using “Vishing” technologies, which involve making voice hunting calls to the offices. According to reports, infiltrators used the Slesforce data tool, which was changed to clarify large quantities of data after installing on the affected servers.

Dark web leakage and a network of victims

Lapsus was opened $ Hunters scattered the Dark Web Leak web page on Friday, claiming that it was at risk about 40 companies. Salsforce or infiltrators did not reveal if the talks were under progress, and the group did not submit any public demands on the ransom.

Whether the stolen data contains personal identification information (PII) for millions of consumers is the question raised by the leakage. Security professionals warn that these types of documents can support widespread hunting attacks, fraud and stealing identity.

Links to “The Com” and previous arrests

The collective group is monitored by the threat group of threats from Google (GTIG) under the name “Unc6040”, which highlights its ability to deceive employees in exposing them to danger to their own work settings. The gang’s infrastructure, according to the investigators, is similar to the networks associated with the “Com”, which is a loose, electronic ecosystems system, which is famous for fraud, and sometimes violent actions.

Disclosure comes after the arrest of four people under the age of 21 in Britain in July 2025 regarding attacks on Ransomwari on retailers in the UK. Despite these arrests, the authorities believe that the group is still working, highlighting the fragmented structure of contemporary electronic crime gangs.

More pattern of retail threats

According to cybersecurity experts, allegations against Salesforce indicate a greater twice: international companies ’dependence on external cloud services. The attackers can circumvent advanced safety measures at the platform level by focusing on users instead of service providers.

Retail merchants are still especially attractive because they have large quantities of customer data and payment data. Experts warn that the tactics of hunting and guidance data will continue to spread in the absence of strong approval, training in employees, and response to accidents.

One of the most bold allegations made by the fishermen scattered in LAPSUS $ so far is the alleged theft of the Slesforce record, which is billion. Although Salesforce confirms that its systems are safe, the example highlights the continuous risks of social engineering and third -party attacks at a time when the cloud platforms support international trade.
