That man was also arrested by authorities on March 26 in connection to a case down south.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) told Global News in 2021, the accused allegedly accessed a third-party hosting company’s computer system to deface and download a backup of Texas Republican Party’s web server.
The DOJ said he then released the information online before claiming responsibility for the cyberattack on social media.
A release from the OPP noted that there was a publication ban in connection to its case, and would not be providing further details.
