Snowflake has actually been fairly consistent on saying that the breach was not of their underlying systems, but customer misconfiguration. I am reminded of the mid 2010s when AWS had certain systems public by default and tons of "data breaches" involved companies simply not making their data buckets private.
- datadrivenangel 2y ago"Our stupid customers didn't turn on the 'safety mode' which our customer support people often tell them to turn off" is such a reassuring PR tack.
- sickofparadox 2y agoIf the default settings of a system are to make it public, then yes it is the "stupid customers'" fault for not clicking the check box to make it private. Snowflake can't take the blame just because you went and dreamed up a scenario where customer support tells users to make their data public, then got mad at them for your imagination.
