My thoughts on the AT&T data breach

Companies like AT&T and Ticketmaster use a company called Snowflake cloud services to manage important information like customer and client data from both of these companies. IT vendors typically are more concerned about getting a contract and spending very little money on actually taking care of the client.

Ultimately it comes down to the person who writes the checks at either company who sees it from a dollars and cents point of view and not an IT point of view. Snowflake cloud services blames their clients for not using two factor authentication to secure their data.

If I am going to pay a lot of money for you to manage what I hold sacred, take the effort in actually securing it. Also, snowflake states they partnered up with azure as an industry standard for the management of their clients stored data. Anything with associated with Microsoft is a big red flag because Microsoft is the largest commonly used product and services software company on the planet. Most used of anything means a big target.
