In the digital world, companies keep a lot of data about all sorts of things online. Sometimes, that data can be taken through a break-in, which is called a data breach. Imagine if someone found a key to your house and snuck in to copy all your family photos. That’s similar to what happens in a data breach, but with data instead of photos.
A recent incident happened with a company that had its data taken without permission. The data was a bunch of information that didn’t include personal details, but it was still important. It was like a summary of different things all mixed together, kind of like a scrapbook of facts. This happened through a part of the company’s computer system which they call “Snowflake.” Snowflake is not the cold snowflake that falls from the sky in winter, but a tool that companies use to store and look at their data.
It’s important to know that even if the information taken didn’t have people’s names or private things like passwords, it could still be used in ways that are not good. It’s like if someone knew what time you left your house every day, they might not know your name, but they could plan something not so nice around that information.
