Snowflake’s MFA Mandate: A Comedy of Errors in Cloud Security

Snowflake mandates multi-factor authentication for customers following data breaches. Despite denying vulnerabilities in its environment, the cloud platform acts to thwart targeted threats. Analysts also report criminal sales of numerous Snowflake customer credentials online.

Hot Take:

Looks like Snowflake just discovered the hard way that security isn’t a piece of cake—more like a snowstorm of trouble! Time to double down on those MFA logins, folks, because cybercriminals are out for more than just ice cream.

Key Points:

  • Snowflake mandates multi-factor authentication (MFA) for customers after data breaches.
  • Hudson Rock discovered terabytes of data stolen from Snowflake customers.
  • Snowflake denies a direct attack but admits former employee credentials were compromised.
  • Threat actors target customers without MFA enabled.
  • Snowflake plans to enforce advanced security controls.
