The indictment reveals that hackers Connor Moucka and John Bins were involved in an international hacking and extortion operation targeting over 10 companies, including Snowflake customers.
The suspects employed a systematic approach to hack into Snowflake cloud instances, utilizing previously stolen credentials alongside software they dubbed "Rapeflake" to extract sensitive data.
Through their extortion efforts, at least three companies paid approximately $2.5 million to Moucka and Bins, reflecting the significant financial impact of their criminal activities.
They have also successfully advertised the stolen data on hacker forums, creating additional avenues for revenue through the sale of sensitive information.
