The ultimate irony of the digital world? The tools that make businesses work are suddenly becoming their Achilles heel. In July 2024, Disney was hit by a major data breach when hacktivist group ‘NullBulge’ accessed its Slack channels, stealing over a terabyte of sensitive information, including unannounced projects, employee data, and credentials. The breach, involving over 44 million messages, was enabled by an insider before the attackers were cut off, illustrating a stark reality: SaaS platforms, at the heart of business development, have become prime targets for cybercriminals. As information moves across platforms, fraudsters are looking for new ways to obtain sensitive information.
Why are SaaS products vulnerable to attack?
It’s very simple. SaaS platforms are designed for collaboration and ease of access but often compromise security. User credentials, third-party integrations, and open APIs create a large attack surface. Once compromised, attackers often use compromised accounts to gain access to a wealth of information to move behind the scenes in an organization without being detected.
