Connor Riley Moucka, a Canadian man accused of hacking into Snowflake customer accounts, pleads guilty in U.S. federal court in Washington state. According to multiple reports, Moucka, 26, from Kitchener, Ontario, entered the plea after being extradited to the United States in July 2025 following his arrest in Canada. Prosecutors state that the 2024 intrusions affected at least 165 organizations and resulted in the exposure of records associated with at least 100 million people.
Moucka is charged with computer fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy, and he is scheduled to be sentenced on October 27. Reports state that he faces up to 32 years in prison. One account also says prosecutors contend he personally took at least $495,000, as part of the scheme involving unauthorized access to customer environments associated with Snowflake.
The sources consistently describe the guilty plea, the role of the 2024 Snowflake account breaches, the scope of affected organizations and people, and the maximum potential sentence, while details of the total amount allegedly stolen are reported as prosecutorial claims.
