The New Reality of SaaS Supply Chain Risk In 2025, the world learned a hard truth: even the most trusted SaaS ecosystems — Salesforce, Google Workspace, Okta, and Microsoft 365 — can be breached without ever being directly hacked. The Salesforce supply chain breach exploited OAuth tokens and trusted third-party integrations, compromising hundreds of organizations’…
In today’s interconnected enterprise ecosystem, organizations depend on SaaS platforms such as Salesforce, Google Workspace, Okta, and Microsoft 365 to manage critical business operations.

The worm hijacks maintainer credentials, infects package releases, installs hidden GitHub Actions for persistence and exfiltration, and programmatically republishes trojanized modules — enabling rapid, automated lateral spread across the dependency graph. Immediate containment (token rotation, CI audit, dependency blocking) and structural…
The release of PCI DSS v4.0 brought major changes for client-side security. Two requirements in particular are transforming how merchants, processors, and service providers think about monitoring their payment pages: These requirements target a growing threat: client-side web skimming, Magecart attacks, and formjacking.

That’s where Breachfin.com…
