I don't remember a week of such good security news:
A 25-year-old man in Ontario, Canada has been arrested for allegedly stealing data from and extorting more than 160 companies that used the cloud data service Snowflake.
On October 30, Canadian authorities arrested Alexander Moucka, a.k.a. Connor Riley Moucka of Kitchener, Ontario, on a provisional arrest warrant from the United States. Bloomberg first reported Moucka’s alleged ties to the Snowflake hacks on Monday.
...
In a statement on Moucka’s arrest, Mandiant said UNC5537 aka Alexander ‘Connor’ Moucka has proven to be one of the most consequential threat actors of 2024.
Too bad we can't send him to a Russian prison, nyet?

If we sent him to a Russian prison they'd just release him and give him a job as a hacker working to infiltrate US systems.
Smart money says he was actually paid by the CIA, FBI, and DoJ!
And Soros, of course!
