The Sûreté du Québec have arrested three Montreal men in connection with a data breach that affected thousands of teachers across the province. The trio's alleged crimes date to the spring of 2018, and occurred "in several regions of Quebec," provincial police said in a statement. A union representing 7,500 English-language teachers in Quebec said the incident will leave a lasting impression. "You end up having mistrust with the government," said Heidi Yetman, president of the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers. The province is paying for five years' worth of credit protection for the teachers whose data may have been accessed.
