Google confirmed a major data breach on August 5, 2025, after cybercriminal group ShinyHunters compromised its corporate Salesforce database in June. The attackers used sophisticated voice phishing, impersonating IT support to trick Google employees into granting system access through a malicious Data Loader app. The breach exposed contact information for small and medium businesses, with ShinyHunters claiming to have stolen 2.55 million records. Google completed email notifications to all affected users by August 8, emphasizing that payment data and advertising products remained secure. ShinyHunters demanded 20 Bitcoins ($2.3 million) from Google, though they later claimed this was done "for the lulz." The group has targeted major companies including Cisco, Qantas, and LVMH brands throughout 2025, typically using delayed extortion tactics.
