Snowflake lets admins make MFA mandatory across all user accounts

Snowflake has introduced an account-wide mandatory MFA option, the Snowflake Trust Center, and scanner packages (Security Essentials and CIS Benchmarks) in response to a series of credential-compromise incidents and data thefts tied to Snowflake accounts. The coverage cites intrusions impacting organizations (Mandiant estimated ~165), claims and data leaks by the ShinyHunters group, ongoing extortion threats to victims like Ticketmaster, and Snowflake's partial acknowledgement of demo-account misuse while disputing broader responsibility.
