Google Confirms Data Breach Following Salesforce Cyberattack

Imagine some bad guys tricked Google employees into giving them access to important information.

They pretended to be IT support over the phone, a trick called "vishing".

They got hold of some contact details, mostly ones that were already public.

These hackers are known for stealing data from a program called Salesforce, like a digital address book.

They might release the stolen data online unless they get money.

Google is working to make sure this doesn't happen again.
