Snowflake Warns: Targeted Credential Theft Campaign Hits Cloud Customers Cloud computing and analytics company Snowflake said a "limited number" of its customers have been singled out as part of a targeted campaign. "We have not identified evidence suggesting this activity was caused by a vulnerability, misconfiguration, or breach of Snowflake's platform," the company said in a joint statement along with CrowdStrike and Google-owned Mandiant. "We have not identified evidence suggesting this activity was caused by compromised credentials of current or former Snowflake personnel." It further said the activity is directed against users with single-factor authentication, with the unidentified threat actors leveraging credentials previously purchased or obtained through information-stealing malware. "Threat actors are actively compromising organizations' Snowflake customer tenants by using stolen credentials obtained by infostealing malware and logging into databases that are configured with single factor authentication," Mandiant CTO Charles Carmakal said in a post on LinkedIn. Snowflake is also urging organizations to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and limit network traffic only from trusted locations. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in an alert issued on Monday, recommended organizations follow the guidance outlined by Snowflake to hunt for signs of unusual activity and take steps to prevent unauthorized user access. A similar advisory from the Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) warned of "successful compromises of several companies utilizing Snowflake environments." Some of the indicators include malicious connections originating from clients identifying themselves as "rapeflake" and "DBeaver_DBeaverUltimate." The development comes days after the company acknowledged that it has observed a spike in malicious activity targeting customer accounts on its cloud data platform.

As organizations increasingly rely on APIs for digital transformation, they face escalating cybersecurity risks. A recent report from the Marsh McLennan Cyber Risk Intelligence Center reveals a concerning trend: API vulnerabilities and automated bot abuse are now deeply interconnected. With API-related security incidents rising 40% in 2022 and bot attacks surging 88%, businesses are losing billions annually—up to $87 billion from API insecurity and $116 billion from bot attacks. The impact on companies is profound. These incidents can lead to significant financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage, undermining customer trust. Furthermore, large enterprises face greater risks due to their complex digital infrastructures, managing hundreds or thousands of APIs, which creates vulnerabilities that can be exploited. To combat these threats, organizations must foster collaboration between development and security teams, implement comprehensive API monitoring, and integrate bot management with API security. Inaction could lead to substantial financial and reputational harm, emphasizing the urgent need for robust security strategies to safeguard sensitive data in an increasingly digital world.
