Un pirate plaide coupable après 165 piratages

A Canadian man, Connor Riley Moucka, has pleaded guilty to a massive cloud-based hacking and extortion scheme targeting over 165 organizations. Between February and October 2024, his group exploited stolen credentials to access cloud data belonging to a US software-as-a-service provider, resulting in the theft of billions of records and subsequent extortion attempts. The operation, linked to Operation Riptide, involved the sale of stolen data on dark web forums and generated over $495,000 for Moucka. The case highlights the significant risk posed by compromised credentials in shared cloud infrastructure.
