Snowflake hacker still active, recently broke into new orgs, Bloomberg reports

A Google (GOOGL) cybersecurity specialist says the hacker behind the Snowflake (SNOW) breach recently broke into a “handful” of new organizations and is likely a male based in Canada in his 20s, Bloomberg’s Margi Murphy and Charles Gorrivan report. The attacker, who was responsible for a cybercrime campaign that impacted up to 165 companies this summer, has since targeted American firms and compromised critical infrastructure organizations based in Russia and Bangladesh, according to the Google analyst. In June and July, companies including AT&T (T), Live Nation (LYV), and Advanced Auto Parts (AAP) disclosed they’d been affected as part of a campaign in which a hacker stole personal data about millions of people. The hacker is no longer targeting Snowflake-related data but exploiting tools from another software provider, according to the report.
