The number of alleged hacks targeting the customers of cloud storage firm Snowflake appears to be snowballing into one of the biggest data breaches of all time.
Nearly 1,000 individuals, many of whom are not directly related, were noted by FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran to be part of the prolific hacking collective Scattered Spider, also known as 0ktapus and UNC3944, which was behind last year's attacks against Okta and MGM Resorts, CyberScoop reports.
