Passkey-themed phishing attacks lead to Microsoft 365 data theft

Microsoft links ShinyHunters- and Helix-affiliated actors to passkey-themed vishing and device-code phishing that compromises Microsoft 365 accounts and steals cloud data.

Microsoft attributes passkey- and SSO-themed social engineering activity, observed since May 2026, to Storm-3121 (linked to ShinyHunters and Falcon) and Storm-3032 (tied to BlackFile members now operating as Helix). Attackers impersonate corporate IT help desks by phone or SMS, urging fake passkey, MFA, or SSO updates and directing victims to adversary-in-the-middle phishing pages or device-code authentication flows that yield credentials, session tokens, and OAuth tokens. Post-compromise behavior includes Microsoft Graph enumeration of users, SharePoint, and OAuth grants, plus persistence via attacker-controlled MFA methods. Google Threat Intelligence tracks related activity as UNC6671, linked to the BlackFile, Helix, Falcon, Pink, and Redact extortion gangs.

AI is changing what Salesforce security needs to govern

WithSecure's Trust Mapping paper proposes a framework for governing trust relationships across Salesforce workflows, AI agents, integrations and connected SaaS systems.

WithSecure's paper 'Navigating Trust in the Modern Salesforce Ecosystem' introduces a Trust Mapping Framework spanning five domains: entities, information, connections, actions and system outcomes. It applies to Salesforce, Agentforce, Headless 360, third-party SaaS and AI-assisted workflows where users, AI agents, APIs and integrations form trust relationships. A Discovery step maps relationships, a Governance step assesses, restricts or retires them, and the paper defines 'trust drift' such as stale credentials, excessive access and unvalidated AI recommendations.

Slack can now vibe-code interactive charts and reports inside chats

Slack launched Slackforce Surfaces, letting Slackbot build interactive dashboards, reports, and microsites directly inside chat channels.

Slackforce Surfaces uses AI to gather context from conversations and connected apps such as Google Drive and Salesforce to generate shareable interactive reports, polls, dashboards, and presentations. Surfaces can be pinned to channels where colleagues can view, interact, and comment. The feature is available to all customers, including free users, with Slackbot enabled, and live data support starts in October.

ShinyHunters claims it stole 284 million patient records from McKesson

ShinyHunters claims theft of 284 million patient records from McKesson via vishing, Okta takeover, and Salesforce/Snowflake access, demanding $55,236,150.

McKesson disclosed in an SEC filing a cybersecurity incident detected August 25, 2026, involving unauthorized access to third-party applications and data exfiltration affecting a subset of customers in its Oncology & Multispecialty and Medical-Surgical business units. ShinyHunters told BleepingComputer it entered through vishing calls to employees, used stolen credentials to take over Okta single sign-on accounts, and extracted about a terabyte of data from Salesforce and Snowflake environments over four days. The group claims 284 million database rows including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, Medicaid details, medical record numbers, and medication data, and demanded $55,236,150 with a 72-hour deadline; none of these claims have been independently verified.

Week in review: Salesforce and ServiceNow portals exposed for 17 months, exploited Metabase 0-day

Weekly digest: exploited Metabase zero-day breached Framework; Salesforce/ServiceNow portals read for 17 months; Microsoft patched 400+ flaws.

Help Net Security's week in review aggregates top stories: a 'City-Forum' campaign tracked by Reco has been pulling records from Salesforce and ServiceNow portals worldwide for 17 months, and Framework suffered a breach via an exploited Metabase zero-day exposing customer contact and IP data. It also covers Microsoft's August 2026 Patch Tuesday fixing 400+ flaws including exploited zero-day CVE-2026-68820, Cisco's fix for exploited firewall DoS bug CVE-2026-20349 (added to CISA KEV), and a second N-able N-central hotfix for actively exploited CVE-2026-18577. Other items include GitHub expanding Dependabot malware alerts to eight package ecosystems and EU AI Act enforcement beginning on 2 August 2026.

KlueセキュリティインシデントとRecorded Futureへの影響

Recorded Future disclosed a Klue incident that exposed some Salesforce business data, including contacts and emails, via a compromised OAuth token.

Recorded Future disclosed that unauthorized activity in marketing vendor Klue's integration layer, starting June 12, 2026 and contained the same day, affected some of its Salesforce data through a compromised OAuth token in the Salesforce-Klue integration. Impacted fields are limited to business data such as customer contact names, email addresses, and possibly business contract information. No evidence indicates Recorded Future's core platform, Intelligence Graph, internal databases, or customer platform data were accessed. The company revoked all relevant OAuth tokens, coordinated with Salesforce and law enforcement, and began reviewing all third-party Salesforce integrations.

CVE-2026-203498.62%
Unauthenticated Remote DoS in Cisco ASA/FTD SSL VPN Service
CVE-2026-20349 is a vulnerability in the Remote Access SSL VPN service of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Threat Defense (FTD) software, caused by insufficient error checking when processing HTTP requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can trigger it by sending a crafted HTTP request to the SSL VPN service on an affected device. A successful exploit causes the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial-of-service condition; no credentials or user interaction are required, and confidentiality and integrity are not affected. Any organization running ASA or FTD software with the Remote Access SSL VPN service enabled is affected, especially devices whose VPN interface is reachable from the internet. The flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-08-11 and is reported as exploited in the wild, though no public proof-of-concept is known.

Authentication Bypass and Account Takeover in N-able N-central (Incomplete Patch)
CVE-2026-18577 is an authentication bypass (CWE-288) in N-able's N-central RMM platform caused by an incomplete patch for the earlier vulnerability CVE-2026-18556. Because the original fix can be bypassed via an alternate path or channel, a remote, unauthenticated attacker needs no privileges or user interaction, though the attack requires meeting exploit-specific conditions (high attack complexity, CVSS 4.0: 8.2 High). Successful exploitation lets the attacker bypass authentication and take over N-central accounts, gaining high-impact access to the management console with limited direct effects on downstream services. All N-central versions through 2026.3.1 are affected. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: the flaw was added to CISA's KEV on 2026-08-03, EPSS estimates a 54.1% chance of exploitation within 30 days (99th percentile), and news reports say attackers kept exploiting it even as N-able shipped successive hotfixes; ransomware use is currently unknown.

Use-After-Free Local Privilege Escalation in Microsoft Windows WinSock AFD Driver
CVE-2026-68820 is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock (afd.sys), the kernel component that handles Winsock socket operations. A local, authenticated attacker can trigger the memory corruption through crafted socket activity, and the high attack-complexity score (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L) indicates exploitation requires a specific, likely race-sensitive sequence of operations. Successful exploitation elevates privileges to SYSTEM, giving the attacker full control of the host, and public reporting describes deployment of a backdoor after privilege escalation. Virtually every Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server (2012-2022) installation ships this driver, so the affected population is essentially the entire supported Windows installed base. The flaw is being exploited in the wild: CISA added it to the KEV on 2026-08-11, Microsoft fixed it in the August 2026 Patch Tuesday release, and reporting ties active exploitation to North Korea's Lazarus group, who paired the zero-day with fake job-offer lures.
