There has been a lot of attention on a cybersecurity incident involving Snowflake. We want everyone to have the latest and also separate truth from fiction. We recently observed and are investigating an increase in cyber threat activity targeting some of our customers’ accounts. There have been a number of news stories based on an inaccurate Hudson Rock blog post that has since been taken down, claiming Snowflake’s systems have been breached. In fact, our investigation to date shows Snowflake’s product has not been breached. We are working with outside cybersecurity companies to independently validate our findings.

Snowflake Platform security follows the shared responsibility model. This means, we provide customers with a platform that has the best of breed encryption & security features to protect their data but customers have to leverage these features properly. Having the most secure & encrypted platform in the cloud means little if you write your login creds on a sticky note and stick it on your office wall. This is why customers should always use SSO for authentication with their own MFA to login to Snowflake where passwords are NOT stored or managed in Snowflake. If they have to use userids & pws stored in Snowflake, they should always enable the builtin DUO MFA for those userids which DUO is part of every Snowflake account.

I thought it was suspicious when the article said that the writer and threat actor believed the solution Snowflake customers required was to use the Hudson Rock product, and poof, problem solved. LOL!!

1moSad to see so many jumping on the bandwagon when it’s unfounded. Snowflake - integrity and customers first.
