Infosec in Brief The falling ball of trouble at Snowflake continues to grow larger, with more victims – and even one of the alleged intruders – coming forward last week.

Snowflake Cloud Data Leak

We know the list of Snowflake victims is long – at least 165 targets were caught in the security flaw, threat hunters at Mandiant recently reported – including, it is believed after the news broke this week, Australian ticket provider Ticketek. According to local news sources, Tiketek has contacted customers about an incident that exposed their names, dates of birth and email addresses – but has not specified whether it attributes the incident to the Snowflake breach.

Ticketmaster, another major discount ticket company based in the US, was one of the first victims identified. US auto parts retailer Advance Auto Parts was also believed to be a Snowflake victim, which the company confirmed last week in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Advance Auto Parts said employee and applicant information, including social security numbers and other government identifying information, was stolen during the breach.
