The Snowflake Attack May Be Turning Into One of the Largest Data Breaches Ever
A hack against customers of the cloud storage company Snowflake looks like it may turn into one of the biggest-ever data breaches. Both companies have said they have suffered from data breaches, with Ticketmaster directly linking the incident to Snowflake while Santander said it had seen unauthorized access to one of its databases “hosted by a third-party provider.” Neither company has confirmed the size of the breaches. In recent days, a BreachForums account going by the handle Sp1d3r has posted two more companies whose data it claims is related to the Snowflake incident: automotive giant Advance Auto Parts, which Sp1d3r claims to have 380 million customer details from, and financial services company LendingTree and subsidiary QuoteWizard, from which it claims to have data linked to 190 million people. Some Advance Auto Parts staff and customer email addresses listed in sample data by the hacker appear to be legitimate accounts; emails WIRED sent to those addresses did not bounce nor were they otherwise rejected.
