I have an uncle who works for a infosec company which has contracts with the provincial government. I know that internally, the police of the province (which is called the SQ) has no real power in terms of hacking investigation. It really is sad. They rely on gathering info from sources such as Facebook, that's how they got the kid. What this article does not say is that right now is his first court hearing but they had found his identity a couple of months ago. My uncle was at the press conference where they said that they had found him and after it was finished he asked one the police officer on the case how they had found him. He straight up told him that they found him because he talked about it to his friends on Facebook. If not for that, the kid would not have been caught. The alternative is to wait for him to commit a crime against the great US of A and have the FBI do the job. For the record, I'm a 20 year old guy from Quebec and I really wonder what I could have done if I tried my hands at it. I'm also glad I didn't.
