Advance Auto Parts’ Snowflake Breach Hits 2.3 Million People


Advance Auto Parts has confirmed a breach of its Snowflake account will impact millions

A leading US car parts provider has revealed that a high-profile data breach earlier in 2024 will impact over two million job applicants and current and former employees. A breach notification letter filed with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) of Maine revealed that “an unauthorized third party accessed or copied certain information maintained by Advance Auto Parts from April 14, 2024, to May 24, 2024.” This threat actor accessed the data by compromising the firm’s Snowflake environment, in the same campaign that victimized Ticketmaster, Santander, Neiman Marcus and over 160 other organizations.
