Police Arrest Three For Leaking Customer Data From Desjardins

Back in 2019, Desjardins got in trouble in a huge way. An employee swiped a whole lot of customer data. And the problems didn’t end there. They even had to settle a huge class action lawsuit out of court to make their problems go away. But today Desjardins got some good news. Three people were picked up by cops in Quebec in relation to this incident:

Laval police say they arrested three suspects Wednesday in connection to a massive data breach at Desjardins Group made public in 2019.

Imad Jbara, 33, and Ayoub Kourdal, 36, were charged with fraud, trafficking in identity information and identity theft. The third suspect has yet to appear in court.

An arrest warrant was also issued for a fourth suspect.

Honestly, I would love to see more arrests when these sort of things happen. That would serve as a significant deterrent to the forces of evil so to speak. It’s not going to happen, but one can hope.
