One Attacker Has Scraped Both Salesforce and ServiceNow Portals Since 2025
Reco tracks the City Forum campaign: one Contabo VPS has scraped Salesforce and ServiceNow guest portals across finance, telecom and public sector since March 2025.
Reco researchers identified infrastructure at 158.220.87.79, a Contabo VPS using Go's default net/http user agent, that has harvested records from Salesforce Experience Cloud and ServiceNow customer portals across telecom, financial services, enterprise software and public sector targets for over a year. The tool abuses over-privileged persistent guest users, enumerating Salesforce Aura sites (560,000+ events at one target), probing Lightning Web Runtime via the UI-API across API versions v56.0-v66.0, and hitting the poorly documented ServiceNow Service Portal search endpoint. No named victims or actor attribution yet, and activity is ongoing with rising volume. Defenders are advised to hunt the Go-http-client user agent and specific IP in Salesforce Event Monitoring logs and syslog_transaction on ServiceNow, then tighten guest sharing rules and Knowledge Base read criteria.
IDScan confirms breach after 153 million driver’s licenses leak on dark web
IDScan.net confirmed hackers accessed cloud-stored customer data after a dark web listing exposed 153 million US and Canadian driver's license scans.
IDScan.net, a Louisiana-based identity verification provider serving car rental companies, retailers, and cannabis dispensaries, confirmed unauthorized access to customer data stored on its cloud platform around September 1, 2026. A dark web marketplace called Nexus advertised more than 153 million US and Canadian driver's license scans, plus 10 million ID cards, 3 million travel documents, and 579,000 medical cards. Krebs traced the leak to IDScan.net, prompting an FBI New Orleans investigation; the company is notifying affected individuals and offering free credit monitoring while cooperating with federal law enforcement.
