    This company has allowed customers to be exposed to criminal fraud. This is the way these "data breaches" should be framed. Ticketmaster should be criminally liable for punitive damages that will make them take security seriously.

    > In a joint statement with Mandiant and CrowdStrike, Snowflake stated there is no evidence suggesting that compromised credentials of Snowflake personnel caused the unauthorized activity. Instead, they attribute the breach (which has also affected companies like Pure Storage, Advance Auto Parts, and Ticketek) to Snowflake customers’ fault, who failed to implement proper authorization protections on their accounts.

    It will be interesting to see how that plays out. The companies will blame each other.

    Only because they had to and couldn’t write it off in any way.
