A Richmond man has been arrested in connection to a series of PharmaNet breaches that may have compromised the personal medical information of about 20,500 British Columbians. Vancouver police executed a search warrant at a home in Richmond on March 23 and arrested a suspect. Investigators believe the man gained unauthorized access to the provincial online prescription-medication information system and used patients personal data for fraudulent purposes. (English)
