B.C. crime news: Youth arrested in Richmond in connection with lottery cyber attack
Mounties in Richmond have arrested a youth following an investigation into a cyber attack that impacted some B.C. Lottery Corporation's PlayNow user accounts. In July 2024, BCLC became aware of a suspiciously high volume of traffic on its iGaming site, the RCMP said in news release Wednesday. BCLC's cybersecurity team determined the traffic was the result of credential stuffing. RCMP describe this as a practice in which criminals attempt to gain access to user accounts using emails and passwords leaked or stolen from other websites. According to BCLC, an estimated 250,000 attempts were made to gain unauthorized access to PlayNow user accounts. RCMP said the BCLC notified impacted players that their accounts had been locked due to suspicious activity and took measures to block the suspicious traffic. Investigators then learned the unauthorized access to some of the compromised accounts originated in Richmond. On Feb. 28, a youth was arrested. Richmond RCMP have elected to proceed with the restorative justice program under the Youth Criminal Justice Act for the offences. One person has been arrested in Kamloops after police seized more than a dozen firearms from a residence on Sifton Avenue Tuesday. RCMP say the search involved the Emergency Response Team because of the high-risk nature involving the possible presence of weapons at the property. Police officers also seized illicit drugs, stolen property and vehicles. One person was arrested and later released. Charges are expected. A man arrested in connection with an assault at a local restaurant in December in Penticton has now been charged with a criminal offence. RCMP say 49-year-old Shaun Richard Clauson has been charged with one count of aggravated assault. On Dec. 22, officers were called to a restaurant in the 2400-block of Skaha Lake Road for a report of an assault. When they arrived, officers found a 28-year-old man suffering from serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Clauson was arrested and later released on conditions. He's scheduled to appear in Penticton provincial court on June 4.
