Canadian Man Pleads Guilty for Hacking U.S. Cloud Storage Provider

Connor Riley Moucka pleaded guilty for his role in a 2024 hacking and extortion campaign that used stolen login credentials to access a U.S.-based SaaS provider, exfiltrating terabytes of sensitive data from at least 165 customer organizations. The operation exposed personally identifiable information for an estimated 100 million individuals, generated over $2.5M in ransom payments, caused at least $9.5M in business losses, and involved resale of stolen datasets on cybercrime forums; Moucka faces multiple federal charges and awaits sentencing.
