An alleged threat actor behind the data theft and extortion affecting more than 160 customers of the cloud service Snowflake was arrested by Canadian authorities last week and now faces extradition to the United States. Alexander “Connor” Moucka, 26, was arrested on a provisional warrant Wednesday, Bloomberg first reported late Monday, and is believed to have been involved in the extortion of companies including AT&T, Ticketmaster and Advanced Auto Parts after company databases stored on Snowflake were accessed using stolen credentials.
