Security News > 2024 > July > Advance Auto Parts data breach impacts 2.3 million people
Advance Auto Parts is sending data breach notifications to over 2.3 million people whose personal data was stolen in recent Snowflake data theft attacks.
Advance has completed its internal investigation into the incident and has determined that the data breach impacted 2,316,591 million people.
"Our investigation determined that an unauthorized third party accessed or copied certain information maintained by Advance Auto Parts from April 14, 2024, to May 24, 2024," reads the notice.
The 2.3 million figure reported by Advance is a far cry from the threat actor's allegations about 380M records, and the data types confirmed to have been exposed aren't nearly as extensive as what 'Sp1d3r' offered for sale.
