Moucka's arrest, first reported by Bloomberg and 404 Media, is over his purported connection to the compromise of at least 165 Snowflake customers - including names like AT&T, Ticketmaster, and Advance Auto Parts.
According to threat hunters at Google subsidiary Mandiant - which has tracked Moucka as UNC5537 and been part of the investigation into the breach - one of Moucka's co-conspirators, John Binns, was reportedly arrested in Turkey earlier this year.
Mandiant declared, 'Moucka has proven to be one of the most consequential threat actors of 2024,' highlighting the alarming scale of harm an individual can cause using off-the-shelf tools.
It's not known when Moucka may be extradited, what charges he's facing, or how long he might end up behind bars if convicted.
