Quebec provincial police have arrested a man they say was the principle architect of a major data theft and multimillion-dollar fraud involving the co-operative financial group Desjardins.
Police told reporters today that Sébastien Boulanger-Dorval, 42, worked in the marketing department at the financial institution until 2019, when the data belonging to more than 9.7 million people, including about seven million Quebecers, was stolen.
