Telus’s digital-services arm acknowledged it had been hit by a cybersecurity attack “involving unauthorized access to a limited number of our systems.” BleepingComputer reported that ransomware gang ShinyHunters claims to have taken nearly a petabyte—a million gigabytes—of data connected to Telus Digital customers, and Telus has refused to pay a $65-million ransom.

Talking point: The hackers worked through credentials stolen in a breach of Salesloft Drift last summer, showing how one hack can lead to the next. Salesloft Drift offers tools to combine workflows between services like Salesforce and Google workspaces; the breach there gave ShinyHunters a set of Telus Digital login credentials for Google Cloud, which got them access to other parts of Telus Digital, which in turn gave them data from customers across its array of services. Those include everything from customer-service chatbots to application design to, yes, cybersecurity. Telus shares barely budged on the news.
