If you thought the string of data breaches in 2025 couldn't get any worse, prepare yourself. On November 21, Google’s Threat Intelligence team dropped a bombshell: hackers stole customer data from more than 200 Salesforce instances through a compromised third-party app published by Gainsight, the popular customer-success platform. This isn’t some zero-day exploit in Salesforce itself (both Salesforce and Gainsight are adamant about that). It’s a classic supply-chain attack — the kind that keeps CISOs up at night — and it’s the second wave stemming from the same notorious hacking collective that’s been tormenting Salesforce customers all year.
