All Santander staff and 30M customers in Spain, Chile and Uruguay hacked

My last customer ditched a perfectly fine custom Java solution to synchronize data for a flashy cool Snowflake one.

Well, bad luck.

They are useless, someone used my daughters gmail address and some family details to set up a bank account, it was obviously tax dodging or illegal funding of some kind because we got a bunch of emails with various info.

I am 8 hours different time zone to London, so I spent a week of nights trying to contact someone after they ignored my emails. No joy, couldn't even talk to someone.

Told the federal police here, not really interested.

So meanwhile this account is moving bulk cash somewhere and no one gives a fuck.

And no, we can't take the account over, we don't know the birth certificate verification details used.

> However, researchers at cyber-security company Hudson Rock claim that the Santander breach and the apparent Ticketmaster one are linked to a major ongoing hack of a large cloud storage company called Snowflake. Hudson Rock says it has spoken to the perpetrators of the alleged Snowflake hack - who claim that they gained access to its internal system by stealing the login details of a member of Snowflake staff. Snowflake has not confirmed this, but said it was aware of “potentially unauthorised access” to a “limited number” of customer accounts. If Snowflake is proven to be the source of these ongoing hacks there could be many more victims.

Yeah, "limited number" means not more than 100%.
