Salesforce.com Leaks Data, Customers Get Phished
A Salesforce.com employee feel victim to a social engineering attack and revealed a password that allowed attackers to steal customer data. Some of those customers were later scammed by what appeared to be legitimate invoices from Salesforce.com. From The Register:
It said that confidential details leaked via the scam included "first and last names, company names, email addresses, telephone numbers of salesforce.com customers, and related administrative data belonging to salesforce.com".
This is similar to the scam of a U.S. grocery chain last month.
No matter how many security applications, appliances, devices, and policies we put in place, we humans will always be a weak link.
