The Toronto Hacker
The past few years the GTA, specifically the citizens and companies of the city of Toronto has been hit with a series of hacks and scams. They have started with simple credit card scams and have progressed to hotwiring and stealing expensive construction equipment to eventually extorting and blackmailing businesses.

Card Fraud
Local news agencies have stated that the card fraud alone has costed citizens $75,000+ and many times more to businesses. In early 2020 a local McDonalds has also reported being hit, costing them $3000 over the span of the first few days with numbers slowly increasing. Food delivery company Door Dash has also let out a statement explaining that a large sum of money has been stolen from them but no exact number has been given. Speculations are as high as $50,000.

Grand Theft
Starting late August, reports of stolen cars left in ditches has been slowly increasing, though it has temporarily stopped in October. The first vehicle reported to be stolen was a CASE SV300 skid loader belonging to a local non-profit organization, TNO (The Neighborhood Organization), damages reported at $15,000+. After that, police have received reports of other stolen vehicles such as a 1999 Jeep TJ Sport and a Mazda 3.

Damage Done
Police have let out a rough estimate of close to $300,000 worth of damages. As they continue their investigations this number seems to continuously increase. An estimated $700,000 by the end of 2021. Police urge citizens to report any and all information known about this person/group to be reported immediately.
