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.
