How Government Agencies and their Suppliers can Learn from Catastrophic Data Breaches

ByClaudiu Popa

Nova Scotia is advising over 100,000 victims that their #personalinformation was taken as a result of a “global #cybersecurity issue”, #Ontario recently informed some 360,000 residents about the #breach of their private data, and other provinces are facing similar challenges of #incident detection, impact assessment and #fraud prevention. In all cases, these are predictably followed by the generally weak recommendation for victims to keep monitoring their credit reports to protect themselves against #identityfraud.

Isn’t it high time every other province and territory followed Quebec’s exemplary lead and updated #consumerprotection laws to empower Canadians to place a #creditfreeze on their #TransUnion and #Equifax credit file before the next embarrassing #databreach and #identitytheft occurs?

(with thanks to Jerry West for having me on CBC/Radio-Canada to discuss the severity of this high #risk problem)
