In a news release, RCMP explained that the Banff Centre had hired Deloitte, a cyber-security forensic team, to examine their network data. The team found the network had been compromised between December 2015 and January 2016.
On Tuesday, RCMP announced 50-year-old Tomas Towne had been charged with mischief.
Towne was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Canmore Provincial Court on Jan. 4.
