Canadian law enforcement authorities have arrested an individual who is suspected to have conducted a series of hacks stemming from the breach of cloud data warehousing platform Snowflake earlier this year.

The individual in question, Alexander "Connor" Moucka (aka Judische and Waifu), was apprehended on October 30, 2024, on the basis of a provisional arrest warrant, following a request by the U.S.

The hacker, known as Judische, has extorted $2.7 million as part of the attacks on Snowflake customers.

A key member of the notorious hacker group SiegedSec was arrested today by federal authorities. The arrest came just hours after the hacker published a provocative manifesto titled “The Conscience of a Catgirl.” The document offers sharp criticisms of governments, corporations, and the state of modern surveillance, right before the hacker was taken into custody.
