  • Canadian man arrested in connection with Snowflake data breach
  • The breach affected hundreds of millions of customers
  • This was likely a ‘credential stuffing’ attack

Canadian authorities have confirmed that an arrest has been made in connection to the significant breach of Snowflake earlier in 2024.

Alexander ‘Connor’ Moucka (aka Waifu and Judische) was taken into custody on October 30 following a request by US law enforcement, and is now due to appear in court. The exact nature of the charges are unknown, as extradition requests are considered confidential state-to-state communications, so both nations declined to comment.
