DHAKA: A nineteen-year-old alleged Heartbleed hacker has been detained at his Ontario residence in London on Tuesday.

The Washington Post publishes this report on Thursday.

The detainee was identified as Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes and he was arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Police announced the arrest of Stephen Solis-Reyes, after seizing his computer equipments safely.

The Washington Post said, ‘Accusing the Ontario man of the “malicious breach of taxpayer data from the Canada Revenue Agency”, it charged him two criminal counts of illegal cyber activity and alleged he had used Heartbleed to steal 900 social insurance numbers’.

This influential daily also informed that Stephen Solis-Reyes apprehension was the first arrest related to the now-infamous Heartbleed computer bug, which analysts say skilled hackers can manipulate not only to mine internet passwords, but also to design fake Web sites to trick users into forking over personal information.

There’s little doubt, his attorney, Faisal Joseph, told The Washington Post, that his client is a skilled hacker.

Raised in a family where computers were as familiar as toasters, the 19-year-old tinkered with programming and coding for years.

Dad Roberto Solis-Oba teaches classes on computer technology and his studies include ‘parallel algorithms’ and ‘data mining’, according to his university biography.
