Hacker suspected in massive Ticketmaster, AT&T breaches arrested in Canada

Authorities in Canada have arrested a man suspected of stealing information from around 165 companies using Snowflake’s cloud storage services, according to reports from Bloomberg and 404 Media.

The Canadian Department of Justice confirmed to 404 Media that it arrested Alexander “Connor” Moucka on October 30th following a request from the US government. “He appeared in court later that afternoon and his case was adjourned to Tuesday November 5, 2024,” a spokesperson told 404 Media. Canada’s Department of Justice didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for more information.

Following an investigation, the Google-owned cybersecurity firm Mandiant found that a “financially motivated threat actor” had stolen a “significant volume of data” from about 165 Snowflake customers using compromised login credentials. It didn’t find any evidence that Snowflake itself was breached.
