Threat actors have reportedly launched yet another campaign involving an application connected to Salesforce.
This time, it's the Gainsight application.
And yes, it is the ShinyScatteredLapsus$ collective that is responsible for this new campaign.

For some time (2 - 3 yrs?) I've worried about the "veteran tech" folks who've taken senior roles at Mozilla.
Putting folks from #Google, #MS, #Salesforce, #Airbnb, #Meta, etc in charge seems antithetical to Mozilla's mission of "building a better internet."
I'd installed FF when Google was paying users to install FF circa 2005.*
And after 20 years, I switched to Vivaldi early this year.

I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️

Die Situation in den #USA ist so #fubar (fucked up beyond all recognition), dass der Präsident schon mal das Militär schickt, wenn sich seine Milliardärbuddies bei ihm melden. Merke also - nicht mit #Salesforce oder #NVidia anlegen. Könnte dumm ausgehen, wenn der andere Buddie nicht moderierend eingreift:
Und ja, man könnte mal überlegen, ob man mit diesen Produkten überhaupt etwas zu tun haben will. Will ja niemand hören, stimmt aber trotzdem. 😭

An open letter from current and former Salesforce employees and tech workers to CEO Marc Benioff on his statement of support for sending National Guard troops into San Francisco.
FAFO, you latter-day Trumpist.

Salesforce is software for stupid people.
My apologies to any stupid people who I just offended.

Well? Should they? Let’s ask Ian Betteridge.
Four weeks ago, #Google admitted it was hacked by #ShinyHunters and/or #ScatteredSpider—via #vishing. Sadly, this sparked a journalistic game of Telephone: Over the space of four weeks, “This #Salesforce instance got vished,” quickly became, “2.5 billion #Gmail users hacked!!1!”
Sigh. “This is entirely false,” complains Google. In #SBBlogwatch, we bait for clicks during dog days.
