Snowflake, a prominent cloud data platform, is at the center of a significant data breach. Hundreds of customer passwords were found online, linked to info-stealing malware, according to a report by TechCrunch's Zack Whittaker. The breach primarily targeted users with single-factor authentication, making them vulnerable to attacks. Snowflake has acknowledged the incident and is encouraging clients to adopt stronger security measures, including multi-factor authentication (MFA). Companies such as Advance Auto Parts and Live Nation are investigating potential breaches related to this incident. The breach, described by Wired as one of the largest ever, occurred on June 7, 2024, with stolen data reportedly being sold online. Snowflake is actively engaging with its customers to improve security protocols and prevent future attacks.
