Connor Riley Moucka, 26, pleaded guilty to computer fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft charges related to the 2024 breaches of Snowflake customer accounts, which compromised at least 165 organizations and exposed records of over 100 million people. The attacks required no sophisticated exploits — attackers simply used old credentials harvested years earlier by infostealer malware on accounts with no multi-factor authentication enabled. Moucka faces a mandatory two-year minimum plus up to 30 years on additional charges and is due to be sentenced on October 27, 2025.
