They used this access to obtain OAuth tokens &#8211; a secure digital key that allows an application to access a firm\u2019s data on another service without needing a password \u2013 and connect Klue to third-party platforms, including Salesforce.<\/p>\n<p>They then accessed Klue customer data and leveraged the stolen OAuth tokens to impersonate Klue within those connected Salesforce environments, exfiltrating sensitive customer information before the activity was detected and contained.<\/p>\n<p>Klue\u2019s Smith said the company immediately responded by revoking affected credentials and tokens, removing unauthorized code and disabling potentially impacted integrations.<\/p>\n<p>Klue also notified law enforcement and launched an internal investigation and comprehensive review of its security controls. It has now engaged CrowdStrike to support with forensics.<\/p>\n<p>Customers have been regularly updated about what happened and provided with remediation guidance through various channels.<\/p>\n<p>Salesforce also notified the public on June 17 it has disabled Klue Battlecards integration.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Klue Breach Affects Cybersecurity Firms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In customer-facing blog posts, Huntress, Recorded Future, Jamf and Tanium confirmed that while the breach originated through Klue\u2019s infrastructure, their own&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/klue-breach-compromise\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Klue Breach Enables Hackers to Compromise Cybersecurity Firms https:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/klue-breach-compromise\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-22 06:15:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.infosecurity-magazine.com\/webpage\/og\/32f87c25-a1a8-4629-aca9-eb18d4e4d310.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[30,24],"class_list":["post-278428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-breach","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278428"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278431,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278428\/revisions\/278431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
