Snowflake customers' misperceptions on who owns identity security in the cloud
Details are continuing to emerge daily on the hacking of Snowflake customers who have had their data stolen in what is shaping up to be one of the most significant attacks in years. So far, at least 165 of Snowflake’s customers, including household names like Ticketmaster, Santander Bank, and Advanced Auto Parts, have been identified as having their data impacted in this incident.
While initial reports indicated that Snowflake itself had been hacked, with some evidence pointing to a former employee’s demo account having been compromised, this attack was actually far more interesting because of what it tells us about the current state of security in the cloud.
