How a Single Phone Call Hacked a $16 Billion Giant: The Clorox Password Fiasco
Imagine losing $380 million—not from a complex cyberattack or a sophisticated software hack, but because someone just asked for the password… over the phone.
In 2023, Clorox, one of the world’s largest household chemical manufacturers valued at around $16 billion, was brought to its knees by a hacker posing as an employee. With just a simple call to tech support, the hacker convinced an unprepared agent to hand over critical system credentials. No verification. No security checks. Just blind trust.
The phone conversation went something like this:
“I don’t have the password, so I can’t get in.”
“I understand. Let me just tell you the password, okay?”
The results? A massive breach that cost the company hundreds of millions and led Clorox to sue their IT provider for gross negligence.
