You might recall that the Canada Revenue Agency got hacked via the Heartbleed exploit. That in turn took their website offline during tax season. Following an investigation, a teen was arrested. Well, that teen is now facing new charges
An expanded RCMP investigation produced more charges in the revenue case, plus new allegations of other attacks both in Canada and abroad.
The Mounties now allege Solis-Reyes transferred sensitive data from the revenue agency’s network and have charged the computer science student with obtaining a computer service directly or indirectly, and intercepting a function of a computer system.
They also allege he attacked several other unrelated computer networks.
The additional charges include illegally obtaining computer services, illegal interception of computer functions, five counts of possessing unauthorized computer passwords, three counts of possession of devices used to hack computers and two more counts of mischief to data.
Solis-Reyes is scheduled to appear in court in Ottawa on Dec. 19.
Well, that’s interesting. It sounds like he was busy but left a trail for cops to follow. Of course I have to mention that none of this has been proven in court, but it should be interesting to see what evidence the cops have on this kid.
