Hackers steal “significant volume” of data from hundreds of Snowflake customers
As many as 165 customers of cloud storage provider Snowflake have been compromised by a group that obtained login credentials through information-stealing malware, researchers said Monday.
On Friday, Lending Tree subsidiary QuoteWizard confirmed it was among the customers notified by Snowflake that it was affected in the incident. Lending Tree spokesperson Megan Greuling said the company is in the process of determining whether data stored on Snowflake has been stolen. “That investigation is ongoing,” she wrote in an email. “As of this time, it does not appear that consumer financial account information was impacted, nor information of the parent entity, Lending Tree.”
Researchers from Mandiant, a Google-owned security firm Snowflake retained to investigate the mass compromise, said Monday that the companies have so far identified 165 customers whose data may have been stolen in the spree. Live Nation confirmed 10 days ago that data its TicketMaster group stored on Snowflake had been stolen following a posting offering the sale of the full names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card numbers for 560 million Ticketmaster customers.
