The RCMP has arrested suspected hacker Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes who's being accused of hacking the Canada Revenue Agency website and 1,000 Social Insurance Numbers using the Hearbleed explot. The 19-year-old man from London, Ontario had his computer seized as evidence. The CRA didn't react quickly enough to the Heartbleed hack, which resulted in the pilfering of the SINs. The breach caused a shutdown of the systems for online filing of taxes, effectively extending the April 30 deadline.
“The RCMP treated this breach of security as a high priority case and mobilized the necessary resources to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Investigators from National Division, along with our counterparts in “O” Division have been working tirelessly over the last four days analyzing data, following leads, conducting interviews, obtaining and executing legal authorizations and liaising with our partners,” said Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud.
