Data breach of 23,000 Revenu Québec employees leads to 2 arrests

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Dissent

Kalina Laframboise reports:

Two people have been arrested in connection with a massive leak of personal information at Quebec’s revenue agency.

The Sûreté du Québec say officers arrested a 39-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man from Quebec City on Wednesday morning. They are expected to meet with investigators.

The breach affects 23,000 current and former employees, according to police. An investigation was launched on July 25 after the leak was discovered by Revenu Québec.
