Snowflake, a company specializing in cloud storage of data and analytics, made an announcement regarding the introduction of a new feature. This new function allows administrators to enforce mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all authorized users. The decision was made in response to a series of recent incidents involving compromised customer accounts, with the aim of enhancing security.
In early June, researchers from Hudson Rock gained widespread attention in 2021 when they discovered one of the largest data leaks in history. They uncovered a database containing 533 million Facebook social accounts that had been openly published on the Internet. This incident sparked significant discussions about data privacy issues on the platform and underscored the critical importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape.
