Kitchener-based hacker Alexander “Connor” Moucka was unmasked after making threats against a woman on the messaging app Telegram. Moucka threatened Allison Nixon, the chief research officer at Unit221B, a U.S. cybersecurity firm.
“The whole situation is so ironic for this Moucka person,” said Nixon.
He repeatedly threatened her and her company on Telegram, which were not even working on the Snowflake hack at the time.
“Why would he target a company that is not working on his case and specializes in identifying cybercriminals?” said Nixon. “It is just the stupidest thing ever.”
