Pure Storage, a leading provider of cloud storage systems and services, confirmed on Monday that attackers breached its Snowflake workspace and gained access to what the company describes as telemetry information.

"Following a thorough investigation, Pure Storage has confirmed and addressed a security incident involving a third party that had temporarily gained unauthorized access to a single Snowflake data analytics workspace," the storage company said.

Pure took measures to prevent further unauthorized access to its Snowflake workspace and has yet to find evidence of malicious activity on other parts of its customer infrastructure.

More than 11,000 customers use Pure Storage's data storage platform, including high-profile companies and organizations like Meta, Ford, JP Morgan, NASA, NTT, AutoNation, Equinix, and Comcast.

Ticketmaster's parent company, Live Nation, confirmed that a data breach affected the ticketing firmafter its Snowflake account was compromised on May 20.

A threat actor is now selling 3TB of data from automotive aftermarket parts provider Advance Auto Parts, allegedly including 380 million customer profiles and 44 million Loyalty / Gas card numbers, stolen after the company's Snowflake account was breached.
