Now everyone can put data to work

OpenAI launched a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects to enterprise warehouses and builds shareable analysis dashboards without SQL.

OpenAI introduced a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects to approved sources including Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and Datadog, plus files from Google Drive and SharePoint. It investigates metric changes, builds interactive dashboards, and integrates with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Omni, Sigma, and ThoughtSpot using semantic layers from dbt, Databricks Genie Ontology, and Snowflake Horizon. Queries enforce the connected account's existing table, row, and column permissions, with administrators controlling access via Workspace settings. OpenAI says nearly all of its product team and over two-thirds of its GTM organization use it internally, and NTT Data, Thermo Fisher, and ServicePiston are Alpha customers.

McKesson copes with fallout from data theft extortion attack

McKesson discloses a data theft extortion attack by ShinyHunters affecting oncology and medical-surgical customers, with a reported $55 million demand.

McKesson disclosed that attackers gained access to some of its third-party applications and stole data associated with a subset of customers in its oncology, multispecialty, and medical-surgical business units; the intrusion ran for four days from August 21 and was discovered August 25. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and listed McKesson on its data-leak site, reportedly demanding more than $55 million with a September 1 deadline. Flashpoint analysts say the group typically uses social engineering and identity weaknesses with valid credentials to access cloud-hosted environments, making the intrusion hard to detect. McKesson, which distributes about one-third of pharmaceuticals used in North America with $403.4 billion in annual revenue, says operations continue and it has reasonable assurance of no ongoing unauthorized activity.

ShinyHunters claims it stole 284 million patient records from McKesson

ShinyHunters claims theft of 284 million patient records from McKesson via vishing, Okta takeover, and Salesforce/Snowflake access, demanding $55,236,150.

McKesson disclosed in an SEC filing a cybersecurity incident detected August 25, 2026, involving unauthorized access to third-party applications and data exfiltration affecting a subset of customers in its Oncology & Multispecialty and Medical-Surgical business units. ShinyHunters told BleepingComputer it entered through vishing calls to employees, used stolen credentials to take over Okta single sign-on accounts, and extracted about a terabyte of data from Salesforce and Snowflake environments over four days. The group claims 284 million database rows including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, Medicaid details, medical record numbers, and medication data, and demanded $55,236,150 with a 72-hour deadline; none of these claims have been independently verified.

Snowflake GitHub Actions Flaw Lets Crafted Issues Trigger Command Injection

Wiz disclosed a GitHub Actions workflow injection in Snowflake's snowflake-connector-net repo that exposed Jira API tokens; Snowflake patched the flaw.

Wiz disclosed a workflow injection flaw in Snowflake's snowflake-connector-net repository, where attacker-controlled GitHub issue fields were expanded directly into a shell run block. Wiz's Red Agent exploited it during authorized security testing, received an out-of-band runner callback and retrieved a Jira API token with read access to engineering, security compliance and bug bounty projects. Snowflake merged a fix on June 23, 2026, rotated the token and said its investigation found no evidence of unauthorized access. No CVE, CVSS score or KEV entry has been assigned for the issue.

Wiz Red Agent Finds Its Way Into Snowflake’s Internal Jira Through a Flaw in a GitHub Copilot–Assisted PR

Wiz's autonomous Red Agent found and exploited a GitHub Actions injection in a Copilot-assisted PR, reaching Snowflake's internal Jira without human help.

Wiz's Red Agent autonomously discovered a GitHub Actions injection flaw in a GitHub Copilot-assisted pull request, five days after the flaw went live. It exploited the flaw to validate access to sensitive data in Snowflake's internal Jira, bypassing detection by GitHub Advanced Security, and assessed the blast radius without human intervention. The exercise demonstrates agentic AI performing end-to-end offensive security operations against production systems.
