⚡ Weekly Summary: Drift Breach Turmoil, Active Zero-Day Vulnerabilities, Urgent Patch Alerts, Evolving Threats, and More Insights

Cybersecurity is an ever-evolving landscape, with new threats, vulnerabilities, and lessons emerging weekly. For security and IT teams, the primary challenge lies in discerning which risks are most pressing at any given moment. This digest aims to provide a straightforward briefing to help professionals focus on what truly matters. This week, the Salesloft–Drift breach takes centre stage, where attackers successfully stole OAuth tokens and accessed Salesforce data from prominent tech companies. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how fragile integrations can become a weak link in enterprise security.

In addition to the breach, the digest highlights several high-risk Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) currently under active exploitation. It also covers the latest activities of advanced threat actors and offers insights on optimising security workflows to reduce noise and enhance efficiency. One significant development involves Salesloft’s decision to temporarily take Drift offline due to a widespread supply chain attack that resulted in the mass theft of authentication tokens. Companies such as Cloudflare, Google Workspace, and Palo Alto Networks have confirmed their involvement in this incident, attributed to a threat cluster identified as UNC6395 and GRUB1. Furthermore, a critical vulnerability in Sitecore products is being exploited, allowing attackers to achieve remote code execution and deploy malware on compromised machines.
