Charges were unsealed for two men suspected of carrying out cyberattacks against customers of Snowflake Inc., providing new details about the breaches.
Connor Riley Moucka, who lives in Canada, and John Erin Binns, who lives in Turkey, were indicted last month for their alleged roles in hacking into the computer networks of at least 10 organizations, stealing sensitive data, threatening to leak it unless the victims paid a ransom and offering it for sale to other criminals, according to prosecutors.
