Montreal police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects wanted in connection with the theft of computer data at Montreal’s Concordia University.
Police say the thefts started last March when the suspects entered a lab on campus on several occasions and installed devices allowing them to access student profiles.
According to police, the hack allowed them access to thousands of profiles, many containing personal information.
To date, Montreal police say eight people have come forward to file complaints, but investigators believe the number of victims could be much larger.
Police have released surveillance camera images of the suspects from March 17. Investigators believe the suspects could be between the ages of 20-35, and described both men has having an average build.
