Brinztech Alert: Unauthorized Admin Access to Bayleaf Gourmet Indian Restaurant (via Chaslay Platform) is Leaked

Dark Web News Analysis

A threat actor on a known cybercrime forum is sharing unauthorized administrative access credentials for Bayleaf Gourmet Indian Restaurant, specifically targeting their backend portal at bayleaf.chaslay.com.

Brinztech Analysis:

• The Victim: Bayleaf Gourmet Indian Restaurant, located in Basel, Switzerland. This is a high-end dining establishment.
• The Platform (Third-Party Risk): The compromised URL (bayleaf.chaslay.com) belongs to Chaslay, a white-label SaaS platform that provides online ordering, reservations, and website building services for restaurants.
• The Threat: The leak of administrative credentials for a Chaslay subdomain is a direct compromise of the restaurant’s digital operations. It grants the attacker control over the restaurant’s menu, pricing, reservations, and customer database stored within the Chaslay ecosystem.
• Attack Vector: The “sharing” of credentials (rather than a sophisticated exploit sale) often points to Info-Stealer Malware (like RedLine or Vidar) infecting a restaurant manager’s device, harvesting saved browser passwords.

Key Cybersecurity Insights

This alleged access leak presents a specific threat to the restaurant and its digital supply chain:

• Operational Disruption & Defacement: With admin access, attackers can change menu prices to $0, accept fake orders, cancel legitimate reservations, or deface the public-facing website to damage the restaurant’s reputation.
• Customer Data Exposure: Restaurant management platforms like Chaslay typically store sensitive customer PII, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history. This data is highly valuable for targeted phishing and smishing (SMS phishing) campaigns.
• Supply Chain Vulnerability: This incident highlights the risk of relying on third-party SaaS providers (chaslay.com). If the platform itself lacks forced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for restaurant admins, a single stolen password compromises the entire business tenant.
• Direct Compromise Confirmation: The public availability of administrative access credentials on a hacker forum signifies an immediate and confirmed security breach, providing unauthorized actors with direct control over the restaurant’s digital assets.

Mitigation Strategies

In response to this claim, the restaurant and its platform provider must take immediate action:

• Immediate Credential Reset: Bayleaf management must immediately reset the password for the bayleaf.chaslay.com admin panel. Crucially, they must also check for any new, unauthorized admin accounts created by the attacker to maintain persistence.
• Vendor & Third-Party Risk Assessment: Contact Chaslay support immediately. Request an audit of access logs to determine if customer data was exported. Verify if Chaslay supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and enable it immediately.
• Endpoint Hygiene Check: Run deep antivirus/anti-malware scans on all computers used to manage the restaurant’s orders. The credentials were likely stolen from an infected office PC.
• Customer Notification: If logs confirm data exfiltration, the restaurant must notify affected customers in compliance with Swiss data protection laws (nFADP).
