Major Cybersecurity Breach Unfolds
Initial Discovery
Late on Friday, a significant cybersecurity breach began to surface. Although the specifics—such as the exact data stolen and the method of access—are still unclear, the incidents may be connected to attacks on company accounts hosted by Snowflake. This US-based cloud provider serves thousands of clients, including Adobe, Canva, and Mastercard, and is known for its ability to store and analyze large volumes of data.
Potential Wider Impact
Security experts suggest that as more information emerges about the hackers‘ attempts to infiltrate Snowflake’s systems, other companies might also disclose data breaches. Currently, the situation remains complex and evolving.
Official Statement
“Snowflake recently observed and is investigating an increase in cyber threat activity targeting some of our customers’ accounts,”
said Brad Jones, Snowflake’s chief information security officer.
Historical Context
In a related context, hackers who previously sold 70 million AT&T records in 2021 posted a similar ad for Ticketmaster data on BreachForums. At that time, neither Ticketmaster nor its parent company, Live Nation, had confirmed any data theft, leaving the legitimacy of the data sale in question.

Really? Another data breach at Ticketmaster!
Is it just me, or are data breaches becoming the norm?
Is anyone even surprised by this Ticketmaster mess anymore?
Serious breach, isn’t it time they tighten their security measures?
Not surprised, they need to up their game.
Can we even trust any of these ticket companies at this point?
