: Wir hatten von 2005 an mit den Couchpotatoes einen der ersten großen Podcasts in Deutschland, der damals u.a. zugunsten der Familie eingestellt wurde. Es hat uns immer wieder gejuckt doch mal wieder weiterzumachen, aber wenn ich mir die heutige Podcastlandschaft so ansehe: NIEMAND braucht noch zwei alte weiße Männer die die Welt erklären. Sorry.
The recent mass-theft of authentication tokens from Salesloft, whose AI chatbot is used by a broad swath of corporate America to convert customer interaction into Salesforce leads, has left many companies racing to invalidate the stolen credentials before hackers can exploit them. Now Google warns the breach goes far beyond access to Salesforce data, noting the hackers responsible also stole valid authentication tokens for hundreds of online services that customers can integrate with Salesloft, including Slack, Google Workspace, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and OpenAI.
Incidentally, there has been some truly awful reporting perpetrated around the periphery of this story that needs to be called out as irresponsible bullshit. Newsweek uncritically reported today the names of Google employees who were being threatened by the threat actors who claim (with little convincing evidence) to be responsible.
And Trend Micro's blog put out what I can only assume is AI-produced slop drivel because it basically claimed that a few hundred Google Workforce accounts that were exposed in this Salesloft breach suddenly meant billions of Gmail users were at risk. That Trend atrocity was then of course re-perpetrated to produce even more uncritical garbage "reporting" about this incident. I'm not linking to either, just needed to get that off my chest. It's truly remarkable when Google has to put out a statement talking everyone down off the ledge over this. Pro tip: if you don't track these groups for a living and you don't live and breathe this Com crap, you're probably not going to be able to just parachute in here and write a cool tech story that is also accurate.
