Encryption to Extortion, the Evolution of Cloud Based Attacks
Description
In this session we talk about Salesloft Drift and the implications of OAuth based attacks. Companies use Drift with Salesloft to automate lead capture + sales workflows into Salesforce.com. Enter Nation State threat actor UNC6395, who was able to steal the tokens and gain a backdoor into Salesforce via these OAuth tokens.
We then dive into the Evolution of Cloud Based Attacks, where threat actors like Storm-0501 are moving away from noisy, on-prem encryption and pivoting to the cloud—where exfiltration, data destruction, and extortion can all happen without dropping a single payload. Add to that the rise of extortion-only campaigns, and we’re looking at an evolution that defenders need to understand right now.
