Summary
Ticketmaster recently reported a data breach affecting over 500 million users, attributing the issue to security weaknesses in Snowflake’s cloud database environment. Snowflake denies responsibility, suggesting that the breach resulted from credential stuffing attacks rather than vulnerabilities in their system. Third-party cybersecurity firms CrowdStrike and Mandiant supported Snowflake’s preliminary findings, indicating that the breach likely involved single-factor authentication and credentials obtained from previous malware incidents. While a compromised demo account was found, it did not contain or provide access to sensitive data, and it was not protected by multi-factor authentication.
