AT&T says criminals stole phone records of 'nearly all' customers in data breach 2 years ago
Key point of the article:
"Snowflake allows its corporate customers, like tech companies and telcos, to analyze huge amounts of customer data in the cloud. It’s not clear for what reason AT&T was storing customer data in Snowflake, and the spokesperson would not say."
Finally journalists are asking the question why customer data must be stored with third party cloud providers. AT&T is a long way from Bell Labs, shame on them.
