Ex-US soldier gets 70 months for role in AT&T, Snowflake data thefts
A former U.S. Army soldier received 70 months for stealing AT&T and Snowflake customer data and extorting victims.
Cameron John Wagenius, 22, a former U.S. Army soldier, was sentenced to 70 months and ordered to pay $294,978 for conspiring to steal data and extort victims. From April 2023 through December 2024, using the alias kiberphant0m, he and others hit at least 10 organizations, including telecom firms and more than 165 Snowflake customers such as AT&T, using stolen logins and a tool called SSH Brute. They threatened leaks on BreachForums and XSS.is, sought at least $1 million, sold some data, and used some for SIM-swapping; prosecutors said he also tried to traffic stolen information to a foreign intelligence service. Co-conspirator Connor Riley Moucka pleaded guilty in August and is due to be sentenced on October 27.
