The last exchange with the alleged hacker is a bit sus:
researcher:
> [snowflake] should have bought protection from Hudson Rock
> could have saved them from this one
hacker:
> yes I agree
> it would have helped
Smells like a guerilla advertisement; or a hit piece to disparage competitors. Or maybe it was because some in-house legal team pulled it back.
For now, I am getting bearish signals on SNOW. The initial reports of them blaming it on customers not enabling multi factor authentication is a way to deflect blame until they can figure out a way to deal with pending dump on their stock.
Honestly, if this exchange with the hacker is legit. The $20M the hacker extorted the company for is going to be peanuts compared to the reputation loss and stock dump.
Yet another L for SaaS based products. A centralized source of failure.
