A hacking group has been impersonating IT personnel to break into companies’ Salesforce tools, using the access for data theft and extortion, according to a new report from Google’s threat intelligence group.

The hackers, which have links to a loosely affiliated group of hackers largely based in the U.S., UK and Western Europe called the Com, successfully breached the networks of at least 20 companies in the U.S. and Europe, Google said.
