As everyone knows now, someone at T gave the approval to upload customer data into the cloud service provided by Snowflake. Who was that genius? How far up the hierarchy did the silly idea sound good? If dust the crime scene will we find the fingerprints of a CDO, or a CSO, or even a CEO? Who has some information to share?

Legg and Markus. Snowflake plastered Andy’s name all over their Att page.
And the Stink lost billions so am sure these 2 won't even get a slap for snowflake.
Maybe Legg/Chewning’s T2R work done by contractors accidentally exposed Snowflake to hackers

Every executive need write something for year end for promotion or bonuses. Did you guy notice how many software we changed for performance reviews. To me, it seems like change every two years. Maybe HR is keeping change the executives? It doesn’t make sense changing that often, just internal application.
“ isn't there a service which allows the data to be stored on-premise without having it exposed out to the cloud?”
Yes lol … T had all the data in-house, they don’t want the ‘responsibility’ anymore. That why we are offloading everything data/technical . They just want the ‘fun stuff’ .
Years ago a T employee told me if you stay long enough, you’ll see it full circle-
They own everything in house , then get tired of it- offload it all, then get surprised at how little control they have , the SLA’s at these outsourced companies don’t bend to the execs panic levels, and the employees of those companies shrug at T ‘s outages and go on their lunch breaks.
So, they start pulling it all back in , and we’ll - repeat.
Never learn. Prob cause they keep these same execs on the Board instead of getting a clean slate.
isn't there a service which allows the data to be stored on-premise without having it exposed out to the cloud? Sounds like a violation of proper data handling standards
Snowflake was cheaper than AWS just like harbor freight tools are cheaper than Dewalt tools.
