Security Breach – 5 Sep 2025

Mid-market enterprises often find themselves juggling a patchwork of tools and legacy systems to manage their growing fleet of devices. This fragmented approach not only drives up operational costs but also creates blind spots in visibility and control. We’ve worked with many organisations in this space and consistently see the same challenges – business teams overwhelmed by complexity, struggling to maintain performance, and unable to proactively support business goals. Simply adding more tools doesn’t solve the problem; it amplifies it.

That’s why we advocate for a unified endpoint management platform as the foundation for modern business operations. By consolidating device management into a single, integrated solution, businesses gain real-time visibility, streamlined workflows, and stronger security. This provides IT providers to automate routine tasks, respond faster to issues, and support your users more effectively – regardless of location or device type. More importantly, this shift transforms IT providers from a reactive cost center into a strategic partner that drives innovation, supports growth, and delivers measurable business value.

United States – Manpower – Business Services 

Exploit: Hacking

Risk to Business: Moderate: Milwaukee-based ManpowerGroup confirmed a data breach affecting 144,189 people at one of its Lansing, Mich., franchises. The incident, which occurred between December 29, 2024, and January 12, 2025, involved a ransomware attack that exfiltrated client personal information. While Manpower confirmed names and basic personal details were compromised, the attackers claim to have obtained more sensitive data, including passport scans, Social Security numbers, financial records and HR analytics.

United States – Google – Technology 

Exploit: Phishing

Risk to Business: Moderate: Google warned its 2.5 billion Gmail users to strengthen account protections following a just announced June 2025 data breach involving one of its third-party Salesforce systems. The breach, linked to the extortion group ShinyHunters, occurred after attackers successfully executed a vishing attack to trick an employee into granting them access. The bad actors then infiltrated a corporate Salesforce instance containing contact information and sales notes for small and midsize businesses. Google stressed that the incident did not expose users’ financial data. The company also claims the compromised information was limited to business names and contact details, much of it already public.
