A 26-year-old man in Ontario, Canada has been arrested for allegedly stealing data from and extorting more than 160 companies that used the cloud data service Snowflake.
The accused, Alexander Moucka, a.k.a. Connor Riley Moucka, of Kitchener, Ontario, faces multiple criminal indictments in the U.S.
Moucka is alleged to have used the hacker handles Judische and Waifu, among many others. These monikers correspond to a prolific cybercriminal whose exploits were the subject of a recent story about the overlap between Western, English-speaking cybercriminals and extremist groups that harass and extort minors into harming themselves or others.
Today's story, which I've been sitting on for a while, is the result of many months of reporting. And far too many Signal messages exchanged with the accused, who agreed to be interviewed.
