The data, which lacks passwords but includes substantial PII, has been obtained from vulnerable Salesforce instances and other systems. The FBI has issued a warning to organizations to monitor their environments for signs of infiltration.
The data leak, orchestrated by Trinity of Chaos, a collective of Lapsus$, ShinyHunters, and Scattered Spider, has affected numerous sectors. The full extent of compromised data is still emerging, with incidents involving high-profile companies like Aeromexico, AirFrance, Google, Cisco, Stellantis, and Qantas Airlines coming to light. The group has shifted towards a traditional ransomware approach, conducting coordinated hacks and extortion operations.

Cybersecurity experts caution that the stolen data could be exploited for malicious purposes, including harmful AI applications.
