Ca: Data breach involving Montreal Police?

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Dissent

Andrew Paplowski reports:

Montreal Police will not confirm, but there is a report this morning they are going all out to try to recover sensitive information stolen from the private vehicle of a senior police officer, while he was attending a Christmas party.

The Journal de Montreal says the bag of Captain Patrice Vilceus was taken in a smash and grab near Union Street December 17.

The bag contained files and other confidential information regarding ongoing police investigations.
