Mandiant Says Hackers Stole a 'Significant Volume of Data' From Snowflake Customers (techcrunch.com) 10
Security researchers say they believe financially motivated cybercriminals have stolen a "significant volume of data" from hundreds of customers hosting their vast banks of data with cloud storage giant Snowflake. TechCrunch: Incident response firm Mandiant, which is working with Snowflake to investigate the recent spate of data thefts, said in a blog post Monday that the two firms have notified around 165 customers that their data may have been stolen. It's the first time that the number of affected Snowflake customers has been disclosed since the account hacks began in April. Snowflake has said little to date about the attacks, only that a "limited number" of its customers are affected. The cloud data giant has more than 9,800 corporate customers, like healthcare organizations, retail giants and some of the world's largest tech companies, which use Snowflake for data analytics.

But do they mean to imply that the cloud isn't actually magic, nebulous, impenetrable super-networks that exist in a sub-layer of the internet, protected by quantum something or other and possibly elves and it'll solve all of our problems? That is NOT AT ALL what the vendors told me.
