In a month marked by uncertainty and concern, several pillars of the Spanish business sector have been shaken by a wave of massive hacks that have revealed deep vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. Large entities such as the General Directorate of Traffic, Iberdrola, Telefónica and Santander have been the target of these attacks, compromising not only the integrity of their systems, but also the trust of millions of users.

According to alarming reports from Hudson Rock, a renowned firm in the field of cybersecurity, these incidents could be related to a security breach in the Snowflake platform. Widely used by nearly 10,000 enterprise customers worldwide, this platform has been identified as an entry point used by attackers to access sensitive data and compromise critical systems.

Founded in 2012, Snowflake has an impressive client portfolio that includes notable names like Adobe and HP. The revelation of these attacks underscores a worrying lack of adequate cyber protection measures by both affected businesses and cloud service providers managing sensitive and critical data.

Hudson Rock's sudden removal of the original article has further increased unease and uncertainty in the sector. This action suggests that the events could be even more serious than initially reported, raising serious questions about transparency and crisis management in such sensitive cybersecurity cases.

This scenario highlights the urgent need to strengthen cyber defenses in all organizations, implementing more rigorous data protection measures and strengthening collaboration between companies, regulatory bodies and security experts. Only in this way can the lost trust of users be restored and the continued security of business operations ensured in an increasingly complex and threatening digital environment.
