Canadian authorities arrest a man on suspicion he breached hundreds of accounts belonging to cloud storage provider Snowflake.

Authorities say he used that access to steal personal data belonging to millions of people.

The Snowflake compromise came to light in late May , following the disclosure by Live Nation that data held by its Ticketmaster group had been stolen and put up for sale online.
