Google says hackers breached one of its databases

Google said that a cybercriminal hacking group broke into one of its own Salesforce database systems that stored information about small and medium-sized businesses.

Why it matters: Even Google isn't completely resilient against the wave of social engineering attacks targeting major businesses this year.

Driving the news: In a blog post late Tuesday, Google said that a group commonly known as ShinyHunters had broken into the database, which stored contact information and "related notes for small and medium businesses."
