Canadian police arrest alleged hacker behind cyberattacks that compromised ‘nearly all’ AT&T accounts
Canadian authorities arrested a 26-year-old man responsible for a series of corporate cyberattacks targeting cloud data analysis company Snowflake. Its corporate clients affected included AT&T, Live Nation and others.
Bloomberg reported on Monday that the suspect, 26-year-old Alexander “Connor” Moucka, was apprehended by authorities on a provisional arrest warrant on October 30, following a request from the US. Krebs on Security reported on Tuesday that Moucka is named in multiple sealed indictments from US prosecutors and federal law enforcement agencies. He is said to have then used those logins to access the accounts of Snowflake’s corporate clients and extort them, threatening to sell the data on criminal forums if they didn’t pay.
