CONNOR Riley Moucka, a 26-year-old Canadian identified as a significant cybercrime figure, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges including computer fraud and conspiracy after hacking over 165 organizations via the cloud storage service Snowflake. He was involved in stealing sensitive customer data, including call and text histories of over 100 million AT&T users, and extorted companies like TicketMaster and Neiman Marcus.
Moucka and his associates exploited accounts without multi-factor authentication, amassing over $2.5 million in ransom payments. His operations included using multiple online aliases, notably 'Judische' and 'Waifu.' Authorities arrested him following a lengthy investigation that tied him to other cybercriminals, including U.S. Army soldier Cameron Wagenius and fugitive John Erin Binns. Moucka faces significant prison time, with sentencing set for October 27.
