  • Connor Moucka and John Binns accused of targeting 10 companies, including AT&T
  • The US government claims they extorted 36 bitcoin from their victims
  • Both were known to the police in the past

The US government has accused two people of breaching 10 major companies, stealing their sensitive data and then extorting the companies for money or selling the stolen data on the dark web. The victims most likely include AT&T, the American telecommunications giant.

In the indictment, that TechCrunch published, the two individuals are named as Connor Moucka and John Binns. Both are already known to both the media and law enforcement, as Alexander “Connor” Moucka (aka Waifu and Judische) was taken into custody in Canada on October 30, following a request from US law enforcement.
