Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Target Salesforce via Gainsight Supply Chain Attack

The cybercriminal alliance known as Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters (SLSH), an amalgamation of groups including Scattered Spider, LAPSUS$, and ShinyHunters, has intensified its campaign of data theft and extortion against major corporations. In November 2025, Salesforce detected unusual activity involving Gainsight-published applications, leading to the revocation of access tokens and removal of affected apps from its AppExchange. Salesforce determined that the incident was not due to a vulnerability in its platform, but rather unauthorized access to customer data through compromised app connections. The breach was traced back to a supply chain attack on Salesloft Drift in August 2025, which enabled attackers to obtain secrets used to access additional Salesforce instances. Gainsight confirmed that stolen OAuth tokens were used in the attack, and indicators of compromise were shared with affected customers.

SLSH has leveraged this access to threaten public data leaks and extort both Salesforce and its customers, with a new extortion portal listing dozens of victim companies, including Toyota, FedEx, Disney/Hulu, and UPS. The group has also escalated its tactics by openly recruiting insiders from large organizations, offering rewards for internal access to facilitate further breaches. Recent reports indicate that SLSH's activities are coordinated through Telegram channels, and the group has been linked to high-profile incidents involving both data theft and attempted insider recruitment. Security advisories and ongoing investigations highlight the persistent threat posed by SLSH and the importance of monitoring supply chain risks and insider threats.
