A couple was deported after stealing the information of 150 Simon Fraser University students.
Siyuan Gu and Jing Wang, both 31, pleaded guilty in December to using stolen student ID cards to get U-Passes.
U-Passes allow students unlimited access to Vancouver public transit for $30 per month, compared to the regular price of $151 a month.
Gu and Wang acquired 128 U-Passes between September and November and had 47 fake SFU student IDs on them during their arrest. To steal 500 pages of student information, the couple made use of campus computers. They used keystroke loggers, which are small hidden devices that copy everything that is typed on the computer.
BC transit police officer Jim Garnett told Maclean’s that students should be wary of using campus computers or putting private information on any computer they do not trust.
