Alleged Canadian hacker unmasked after threatening cybersecurity researcher

When an alleged hacker known as “Waifu” violently threatened her online, cybersecurity researcher Allison Nixon set out to unmask them.

Now Connor Riley Moucka, a 25 year old from Kitchener, Ont., is being held in Canada as he awaits extradition to the U.S. to face multiple criminal charges. U.S. authorities accuse Moucka and his accomplices of hacking into at least 10 organizations and stealing troves of sensitive records like payroll and banking information. By holding stolen data for ransom, they allegedly extorted US$2.5 million in Bitcoin from three of their victims.

“I was not working on him until he started posting threats about me,” Nixon told CTVNews.ca from New York City.
