Basically, an employee discovered it as outlined above, it didn't come to light immediately because the contractor that was responsible for the system is up for having their contract renewed soon, and then when it was found out, the government kept quiet about it for about a week and didn't notify the people whose information was compromised. They said that was a request from the police for the sake of the investigation, to which the police were like "lol no it wasn't," and then they subsequently had this ridiculous overkill of an arrest. The charge is "unauthorized use of a computer," which is going to be pretty hard to secure a conviction for given that the files in question didn't require authorization to access. The premier's insisting that changing a URL still counts as stealing the files because they contain personal information, rather adamantly denying that his government was 100% responsible for this breach and that downloading publicly available files is perfectly legal. That sounds ridiculous. Hopefully the kid doesn't bow to pressure and plead out. At any rate, how long was it between the time the kid discovered the files, the discovery that he had accessed those files, and his arrest? Or did the discovery of the access occur on the same day of the discovery of the oversight? Revelation34 posted... Zeus posted... While the artice's time-line is a little unclear, it sounds like he was arrested shortly after discovering the issue. Otherwise, that kind of omission seems par for the course for these kinds of shady, agenda-driven alt-news sites. Shit like this only exists on sites like those anyway. You'll never find it on an actual reliable news site. Well, local news typically covers events like that. And, honestly, all that an advocacy site would need to do is link to the original story rather than doing a Duckbear-styled spin on it. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:899902493] in Canadian D...
