THREAT INTEL: Snowflake Attack Turning Into One of the Largest Data Breaches Ever.
The number of alleged hacks targeting the customers of cloud storage firm Snowflake appears to be snowballing into one of the biggest data breaches of all time.
CrowdStrike and Mandiant (part of Google Cloud) were parachuted in and made reassuring joint statements. The rather awkward question then is Snowflake still maintaining an INSECURE DNS Zone and NOT SECURE Subdomains?
Are these real-time security faux-pas, overlooked, or major professional security incompetence?
No matter what the reason, Snowflake and all Snowflake partners and clients are exposed and insecure to further incidents.
It was reckless to allow these critical Internet Assets to be NOT SECURE in the first place. Negligent NOT to address them and leave them NOT SECURE in the aftermath.
Either of the two real-time examples below could have been easily exploited to enable Access and Digital Intrusion when Snowflake discovered their cyber incident back in April 2024. Several weeks later to discover they are still NOT SECURE is most concerning and incredibly damning.
We reached out to Snowflake several weeks ago and were sadly ignored. Class Actions and the Security Exchange Commission are no doubt sharpening their knives…
To avoid similar Access and Incidents, organizations MUST know what their Internet Assets and landscape looks like and ensure they are SECURE.
