Snowflake

For much of the summer, Snowflake, a cloud data storage provider, was targeted by a series of data breaches affecting over 165 customers, exposing hundreds of millions of records. These customers included large corporations such as AT&T, Santander, and Live Nation Entertainment. Despite the breach's extensive reach, Snowflake has since implemented mandatory multifactor authentication. The disruptions caused by these incidents highlight the importance of robust cybersecurity practices.
