RaccoonO365 Phishing Network Disrupted by Microsoft and Cloudflare

The RaccoonO365 phishing network, a financially motivated threat group, was disrupted by Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) and Cloudflare. The operation, executed through a court order in the Southern District of New York, seized 338 domains used by the group since July 2024. The network targeted over 2,300 organizations in 94 countries, including at least 20 U.S. healthcare entities, and stole over 5,000 Microsoft 365 credentials. The RaccoonO365 network operated as a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) toolkit, marketed to cybercriminals via a subscription model on a private Telegram channel. The group used legitimate tools like Cloudflare Turnstile and Workers scripts to protect their phishing pages, making detection more challenging. The mastermind behind RaccoonO365 is believed to be Joshua Ogundipe, who received over $100,000 in cryptocurrency payments. The group is also suspected to collaborate with Russian-speaking cybercriminals. Cloudflare executed a three-day 'rugpull' against RaccoonO365, banning all identified domains, placing interstitial 'phish warning' pages, terminating associated Workers scripts, and suspending user accounts to prevent re-registration.

Plex Data Breach Exposes Customer Authentication Details

Plex, a media streaming platform, has suffered a data breach where an unauthorized third party accessed a subset of customer data from one of its databases. The compromised information includes email addresses, usernames, and securely hashed passwords. Plex has advised users to reset their passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and sign out connected devices to secure their accounts. The breach did not include payment card information. Plex has addressed the vulnerability and launched internal reviews to improve security. The company also warns users about potential phishing attacks. This is the second data breach for Plex, prompting users to take immediate action to secure their accounts.

Jaguar Land Rover Production Disrupted by Cyberattack

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has extended the production shutdown for another week following a cyberattack that severely disrupted its operations. The UK government has announced a £1.5 billion ($2 billion) loan guarantee for JLR to support its supply chain, which has been greatly impacted by the shutdown. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, forced the shutdown of several systems, including those at the Solihull production plant. Customer data appears unaffected, but some data was stolen during the breach. This is the second cyberattack JLR has experienced this year, following a previous incident in March. JLR operates under Tata Motors India and produces over 400,000 vehicles annually, with a revenue exceeding $38 billion. The attack impacted the ability to register new cars and supply parts at service points in the UK. The specific type of attack and timeline for recovery remain unspecified. A group identifying as "Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters" has claimed responsibility for the attack, posting screenshots of an internal JLR SAP system on a Telegram channel and stating that they deployed ransomware on the company's compromised systems.

Salesloft OAuth Breach via Drift AI Chat Agent Exposes Salesforce Customer Data

The threat actor, tracked as UNC6395 by Google and GRUB1 by Cloudflare, exploited OAuth tokens associated with the Drift AI chat agent to breach Salesloft and steal data from Salesforce customer instances. The campaign, active from August 8 to at least August 18, 2025, targeted over 700 organizations, including Workiva and Stellantis, and impacted all integrations connected to the Drift platform, not just Salesforce. The attackers exported large volumes of data, including credentials for AWS, passwords, and Snowflake access tokens. Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Cloudflare, and Workiva reported data breaches after threat actors accessed their Salesforce instances via compromised Salesloft Drift credentials, exposing customer information. The breach began with the compromise of Salesloft's GitHub account, accessed by UNC6395 from March to June 2025. The threat actor accessed multiple repositories, added a guest user, and established workflows. Reconnaissance activities occurred in the Salesloft and Drift application environments between March and June 2025. The attackers accessed Drift's AWS environment and obtained OAuth tokens for Drift customers' technology integrations. Salesloft isolated the Drift infrastructure, application, and code, and took the application offline on September 5, 2025. Salesloft rotated credentials in the Salesloft environment and hardened it with improved segmentation controls. Salesloft recommends that all third-party applications integrated with Drift via API key revoke the existing key. Salesforce restored the integration with the Salesloft platform on September 7, 2025, except for the Drift app, which remains disabled. Salesloft and Salesforce have taken steps to mitigate the breach, including revoking tokens and removing the Drift application from AppExchange. The breach highlights the risks associated with third-party integrations and the potential for supply chain attacks. UNC6395 demonstrated operational discipline, querying and exporting data methodically, and attempting to cover their tracks by deleting query jobs. The targeted organizations included security and technology companies, suggesting a broader strategy to infiltrate vendors and service providers. The campaign is limited to Salesloft customers who integrate their own solutions with the Salesforce service. There is no evidence that the breaches directly impacted Google Cloud customers, though any of them that use Salesloft Drift should review their Salesforce objects for any Google Cloud Platform service account keys. The threat group ShinyHunters and Scattered Spider claimed responsibility for many of those attacks, and vishing attacks have been cited as the means of compromise. Google disclosed that UNC6040 breached one of its Salesforce instances using these tactics. The UNC6395 Salesloft Drift activity is separate from the vishing attacks attributed to UNC6040. Okta successfully defended against a potential breach by enforcing inbound IP restrictions, securing tokens with DPoP, and using the IPSIE framework. Okta recommends that organizations demand IPSIE integration from application vendors and implement an identity security fabric. Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 advised organizations to conduct immediate log reviews for signs of compromise and rotate exposed credentials. Okta suggests reducing the blast radius of a single entity breach by constraining token use by IP and client and ensuring granular permissions for M2M integrations. The FBI has issued a FLASH alert warning that two threat clusters, tracked as UNC6040 and UNC6395, are compromising organizations' Salesforce environments to steal data and extort victims. UNC6040 is a threat actor that specializes in voice phishing or vishing and recently was observed using social engineering to pose as IT support staff to get into Salesforce environments. UNC6395 is best known for using stolen OAuth tokens from Salesloft's Drift application, which has a Salesforce integration, to steal sensitive data from hundreds of Salesforce environments earlier this year. The FBI's latest advisory provides additional context into the technical aspects of the threat campaigns, particularly UNC6040's activity, which began last fall. The advisory also includes indicators of compromise, including IP addresses and URLs associated with the two campaigns.

Russian Hackers Exploit Old Cisco Vulnerability to Target U.S. Critical Infrastructure

Russian hackers, tracked as Static Tundra and associated with the FSB's Center 16 or Military Unit 71330, have been exploiting a seven-year-old vulnerability (CVE-2018-0171) in unpatched end-of-life Cisco networking devices to target enterprise and critical infrastructure networks in the U.S. and abroad. The attacks, ongoing since at least August 2024, have compromised thousands of devices, allowing the attackers to collect configuration files, change settings, and gain unauthorized access. The U.S. Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on three FSB officers involved in these cyberattacks. The targets include organizations in the manufacturing, telecommunications, higher education, and energy sectors. The attackers use stolen SNMP credentials to control compromised devices, enabling them to run commands, change settings, and steal configurations while evading detection. They also create new local user accounts and enable remote access services like Telnet to maintain access. The attacks highlight the persistent threat of unpatched vulnerabilities and the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure. The three FSB officers, Marat Valeryevich Tyukov, Mikhail Mikhailovich Gavrilov, and Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov, targeted more than 380 foreign energy-sector companies in 135 countries. The suspects targeted American and foreign oil and gas firms, nuclear power plants, renewable energy firms, utility and electrical grid entities, consulting and engineering groups, and advanced technology companies. In August 2021, these officers were indicted in the US with charges of computer fraud and abuse, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. The Dragonfly campaign involved obtaining persistent access to victim networks and infecting them with the Havex malware through supply chain compromise. In the second phase, known as Dragonfly 2.0, the three allegedly targeted over 3,300 users at more than 500 US and international companies and entities, including US government agencies, in spear-phishing attacks.
