U.S. prosecutors confirmed that the charges against Cameron John Wagenius, a U.S. Army soldier arrested for unlawfully transferring confidential phone records, relate to breaches at Snowflake.
Authorities stated that these cases involve overlapping evidentiary material, indicating a significant connection between the soldier's actions and a broader cyberattack that affected numerous high-profile companies.
The incident involving Snowflake's security breaches marked one of the most extensive cyberattacks of the last year, impacting the data security of major entities, including AT&T and Verizon.
U.S. Attorney Tessa Gorman emphasized that both cases, related to the same computer intrusion and extortion, share key legal and factual elements, indicating a concerted criminal strategy.
