New Ransomware Player “Trinity of Chaos” Unveils Data Leak Platform

HackHer News, October 9, 2025October 7, 2025

Opening Act: Meet the Digital Villains

Just when you thought the cybercrime world had enough players to keep an eye on, boom, along comes Trinity of Chaos, a flashy new syndicate apparently born from the union of Lapsus$, ShinyHunters, and Scattered Spider. Their debut? A full-blown TOR-hosted data leak site unveiling stolen data from 39 major corporations. That’s not a practice run, that’s swagger. 

“Recent reports indicate the group is not only continuing to extort victims but is now directly threatening Salesforce. Specifically, they claim they will collaborate with plaintiffs in ongoing lawsuits against Salesforce over recent breaches unless Salesforce pays them directly.” – Brian Soby, chief technology officer and co-founder at AppOmni


What They Dropped (and Who’s Getting Exposed)

This isn’t your average “oops, someone forgot to patch” moment. Trinity’s leak includes:

  • 39 high-profile organizations including Google, Cisco, Stellantis, FedEx, Disney/Hulu, Toyota, IKEA, and many more. 
  • Data that’s heavy on PII (personally identifiable info); think emails, usernames, maybe more, though not (yet) a lot of passwords. 
  • Intriguing clues that the group exploited Salesforce vulnerabilities, likely via stolen OAuth tokens or other SaaS misconfigurations. 

What makes this move interesting is that a lot of the targets may not yet realize they were puppet-masters in a larger show. Trinity’s try-it-and-see approach is unsettling, because they’re daring, not desperate.


Why Trinity’s Move Stings Hard

  1. They’re not subtle. Launching a leak site is bold, a public flex that these attackers want to be seen.
  2. They’re playing volume. By compiling 39 victims all at once, they’re crafting a brand message: “We’re big. We’re dangerous. We’re everywhere.”
  3. They’re evolving. Leveraging existing groups’ infrastructure and reputation gives them a shortcut in threat credibility.
  4. The power of samples. Even without full passwords, leaked PII is ammunition. Combine it with public records, and social engineering becomes a weapon.

It’s not just about what’s stolen, it’s about what’s possible next.


What You Need to Do (If You’re in the Crosshairs)

  • Scan your Salesforce / SaaS setups immediately. Check integrations, OAuth tokens, API permissions, close or revoke any old or unused connectors.
  • Audit recent logs. Watch for unusual login activity, data extractions, or API calls outside of business hours.
  • Segment and limit access. Principle of least privilege is your new best friend, especially around admin access to critical systems.
  • Alert your threat intel / security team. If you see matches to the 39-company list, treat it like an active incident, not the news cycle.
  • Prepare for follow-ups. Even if your company wasn’t named yet, Trinity can always expand, harden your defenses today.

Final Word

Trinity of Chaos didn’t tiptoe in. They strode in loud, confident, and willing to break glass. Their debut leak is an escalation, a statement that they’re not here to lurk in shadows. For security teams, this is your “oh damn, we need to wake up” moment.
