US Soldier Pleads Guilty to Stealing Millions of Phone Records from AT&T and Verizon

A U.S. Army soldier, Cameron John Wagenius, pleaded guilty to hacking AT&T and Verizon, stealing a massive trove of phone records. He faces a maximum fine of $250,000 and up to 20 years in prison. This case is linked to the major 2024 Snowflake data breach, which also involved two other hackers, Connor Moucka and John Binns. The Snowflake hack resulted in the theft of massive amounts of data from AT&T, LendingTree, Santander Bank, Ticketmaster, and at least 160 other companies.
