Snowflake Breach Mastermind “Judische” Arrested in Canada

A man suspected of orchestrating a major wave of Snowflake breaches has been arrested in Canada. The hacker, known by the aliases “Judische” and “Waifu,” is linked to over 165 data leaks, including breaches of AT&T, Ticketmaster, and Santander Bank.

The arrest was made possible after an extensive investigation conducted by international law enforcement and cybersecurity experts. According to 404 Media, specialists gathered critical information on the suspect, expediting the capture process. Notably, Judische contacted 404 Media journalists in mid-October, expressing concern over a potential arrest and claiming he had destroyed or “corrupted” evidence.

Previously, researchers had speculated that the hacker might be in Canada. Confirmation came after a 404 Media source revealed the suspect’s real name—Connor Moke. A record found in the Canadian court database indicated upcoming hearings featuring this name. Later, the Canadian Ministry of Justice confirmed the arrest following a request from the United States. The arrest reportedly took place on October 30, and the case is scheduled for a court hearing on November 5, 2024.

Sources further revealed that before his arrest, Judische shared details of his journey within the hacker community known as “The Com” with 404 Media. This is a network of young, English-speaking hackers responsible for numerous high-profile cyberattacks in recent years. The group’s activities include both digital and physical crimes aimed at gaining access to others’ accounts and assets.

The Canadian police and the FBI declined to comment on the situation.
