A suspected hacker associated with Snowflake has been apprehended in connection with significant data breaches.

Canadian authorities have apprehended an individual believed to be responsible for assaults on numerous Snowflake clients, among them AT&T and Ticketmaster.

Authorities in Canada have apprehended an individual believed to have illicitly obtained information from approximately 165 companies utilizing Snowflake’s cloud storage services, as reported by Bloomberg and 404 Media.

The Canadian Department of Justice confirmed to 404 Media that Alexander “Connor” Moucka was arrested on October 30th at the request of the United States government. A spokesperson indicated that he appeared in court later that day, with his case being postponed until Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The Department of Justice in Canada has not yet responded to inquiries from The Verge for additional details.

In May, Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, disclosed that it had experienced a significant data breach, with alleged customer information being offered for sale on hacking forums. This incident marked the beginning of a series of breaches, as other companies associated with Snowflake, such as AT&T, Santander Bank, Advanced Auto Parts, and Lending Tree subsidiary Quote Wizard, subsequently reported security incidents impacting millions of customers.

An investigation conducted by Mandiant, a cybersecurity firm owned by Google, revealed that a “financially motivated threat actor” had compromised a “substantial volume of data” from around 165 Snowflake clients by utilizing stolen login credentials. However, the investigation found no evidence indicating that Snowflake itself had been breached.
