Google LERS Breach and the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters
A significant security breach within Google’s Law Enforcement Request System (LERS), which was orchestrated by a cybercriminal group known as “Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters.” This group, comprising members from several notorious hacking collectives, successfully created an unauthorized account within the sensitive LERS platform, although Google confirms no actual data requests were processed or sensitive information compromised through this fraudulent access. The document further details the group’s previous attack patterns, primarily exploiting Salesforce platforms through social engineering and authentication token abuse, and the broader implications for the security of law enforcement data systems across the tech industry. Finally, the text introduces Technijian, an IT services provider, offering various cybersecurity solutions and consulting to help organizations protect against such sophisticated threats and enhance their overall security posture.
