Shortly after the Internet bug was revealed to the world last week, the Canada Revenue Agency suffered a data breach that leaked the Social Insurance Numbers of about 900 taxpayers. The agency was forced to shut down its website temporarily to prevent further theft of sensitive personal information.
On Wednesday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it arrested 19-year-old Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes at his London, Ontario home a day earlier. During the police raid, agents seized computer equipment as evidence.
Solis-Reyes now faces two counts of computer-related crimes. He is scheduled to appear in an Ottawa courtroom on Thursday.
The arrest appears to be the first related to the Heartbleed bug since it was discovered last week.

Speaking to CBC News in Canada, the lawyer for Solis-Reyes said his client was "devastated" and felt "sucker-punched" by his arrest.

"He is an A student and a very, very bright young man," Faisal Joseph said. He added that Solis-Reyes had voluntarily handed himself in to police on Tuesday after they threatened to arrest him in the middle of one of his classes.

This followed a 1am police raid on his house on Sunday night. The RCMP confirmed it had conducted a search of the suspect's residence and computer equipment was seized.

Solis-Reyes attends Western University where his father Roberto Solis-Oba teaches computer science.​

Yeah .. poor teenager .. a very, very bright young man .. haha.

- But WHY this major person - WHY he made (into the Canada Revenue Agency) a data breach that leaked the Social Insurance Numbers of about 900 taxpayers ??.

I know the 'everything is permitted' song, by always the same ones.

Those, who know something, are always hated. Some times ago were burned at the stake.
Something to know is not a privilege, it's a punishment.
The stupidity can not tolerate wisdom.
