## Resource

Maxime Paquette, the fugitive behind the massive Desjardins data breach that exposed nearly 10 million Canadians’ personal info, has been arrested in Cancun, Mexico — after two years on Quebec’s most wanted list. Facing charges including fraud, identity theft, and trafficking stolen data, he’s now in custody while extradition to Canada unfolds. This breakthrough, part of international operations like Project D and Portier, highlights how global law enforcement can finally bring cybercriminals to justice — even when they think they’ve vanished across borders.
