Welcome back. A hack of a Salesforce supplier over the summer continues to ripple out to Salesforce customers.
Qantas Airways on Sunday acknowledged that passenger data was published online. The disclosure comes after the hacker group threatened publication unless Salesforce paid a ransom—which the company has refused to do.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and its counterparts in France have seized the hackers' extortion website, Bleeping Computer reported.
The attackers are suspected of accessing Salesforce customer data by exploiting third-party add-on software from a company called Salesloft.
Qantas, which previously said about 5.7 million flyers had their data compromised, is one of a few dozen companies caught up in the campaign. The airline said it is working with Australian law enforcement and cyber agencies to investigate.
