Webinar: How malicious OAuth apps can lead to Google Workspace breaches
BleepingComputer webinar will dissect two Google Workspace breaches caused by malicious OAuth apps and social engineering, hosted September 23 with Material Security.
On September 23, 2026, BleepingComputer will host a webinar with Material Security examining two real attacks that used malicious OAuth applications and social engineering to breach Google Workspace environments. Rather than stealing credentials, attackers persuaded users to authorize malicious apps, gaining access to data through the granted permissions. The session covers first-hour response decisions and which security controls provide the greatest value for fast-growing organizations.
Webinar: The forgotten Google Workspace access that can lead to a breach
BleepingComputer and Material Security will host a September 23, 2026 webinar on breaches caused by forgotten third-party Google Workspace integrations.
BleepingComputer announced a live webinar on September 23, 2026, titled 'Breach autopsy: How fast-growing companies are breached through Google Workspace' in partnership with Material Security. Speakers include Rajan Kapoor, VP of Security at Material Security, and Rick Fitzgerald, President of Fireside Consulting LLC. The session will examine real documented Google Workspace breaches involving overly permissive third-party integrations, social engineering entry paths, first-hours breach response decisions, and high-value security controls for lean security teams.
Try Google Pics: Easy image creation and editing in Google Workspace

Integrations launched in Docs and Slides, with Drive support planned in the coming weeks.
The modern attack chain: Rethinking Google Workspace security in the age of AI
Analysis of Vercel and Composio breaches shows stolen OAuth tokens, not phishing email, now open Google Workspace attacks — a path authorized AI agents follow.
The author analyzes the Vercel and Composio breaches as the same OAuth-first attack chain run twice: a stolen OAuth token, obtained via a compromised supplier, becomes the entry point rather than email. These tokens survive password resets, are hard to observe, and let attackers read Gmail and Drive data, take over accounts, and pivot laterally using stored credentials and password-reset magic links. The piece warns that authorized AI agents with overbroad OAuth grants can unintentionally traverse the same path — accessing inboxes, reading sensitive content, and exfiltrating data downstream — without any malicious actor or compromised credential.
