The Quiet Token Heist: Why 2026’s Biggest SaaS Breaches Won’t Start With Passwords

Passwords are now the decoy. 🔥

The scariest breaches heading into 2026 won’t kick the door in — they’ll stroll through the side entrance with a perfectly valid SaaS token.

We just watched a real preview: the Salesloft/Drift OAuth fallout in August 2025 showed how one third-party integration can ripple across hundreds of customer environments. Multi-tenant blast radius, long-lived access, and a lot of “but MFA was on.”

Meanwhile, the browser is quietly becoming the new control plane. The ShadyPanda-style “sleeper extensions” story — ~4.3M installs before the mask slipped — is a reminder that your SaaS perimeter now has a Chrome logo on it. 🧠🧨

And yes, the BEC playbook is going chat-native. Microsoft has already flagged real-world Teams abuse patterns that fit this drift. 💬💸

So… what’s your org’s real “token posture” right now?
