Firefly was hatched in 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, amid a huge burst of “digital transformation."

Cloud data analysis company Snowflake is at the center of a recent spate of alleged data thefts, as its corporate customers scramble to understand if their stores of cloud data have been compromised. Last week, Australian authorities sounded the alarm saying they had become aware of "successful compromises of several companies utilising Snowflake environments," without naming the companies. Hackers had claimed on a known cybercrime forum that they had stolen hundreds of millions of customer records from Santander Bank and Ticketmaster, two of Snowflake's biggest customers.
Snowflake's security problems following a recent spate of customer data thefts are, for want of a better word, snowballing. Ticketmaster was the first company to link its recent data breach to the cloud data company Snowflake, and loan comparison site LendingTree has now confirmed its QuoteWizard subsidiary had data stolen from Snowflake. "We can confirm that we use Snowflake for our business operations, and that we were notified by them that our subsidiary, QuoteWizard, may have had data impacted by this incident," Megan Greuling, a spokesperson for LendingTree, told TechCrunch.
