OPC Data Breach Updates - Last Update: 12 Jun 18 - Arrest Made


12 Jun 2018


The OPC can announce that after several months of investigation and cooperation with the York Region Police an arrest has been made in connection with the January 2018 data breach.

While we are not currently at liberty to name the accused, OPC can confirm the following charges have been brought:

· Unauthorized use of a computer

· Identity Theft

· Mischief with Data

In total the accused could be facing a maximum of 25 years in prison if convicted.

At this time, it does not appear that the data taken/destroyed in January has been sold.

The OPC appreciates your patience during this breach. We understand it can be frustrating to go long periods of time without an update, however we are sometimes limited in what we can share due to privacy and investigative concerns.

We will continue to send updates as they become available.
