Online lending platform LendingTree Inc. is investigating whether it was a victim of the bigger hacking campaign against clients of cloud-based data analytics firm Snowflake Inc.
LendingTree uses Snowflake for its business operations and was notified by the company that its QuoteWizard subsidiary may have been affected, company spokesperson Megan Greuling said in a statement. “It does not appear that consumer financial account information was impacted, nor information of the parent entity, LendingTree,” Greuling said.
