Global: Halifax Excel program registration shut down because of ‘privacy breach’
"Claudia Chender, MLA for Dartmouth South and the Nova Scotia NDP’s education spokesperson, said she came across other people’s personal information while trying to register her three children into the program.
'It’s frustrating to know that their information and mine could have been compromised, but then of course as an elected official, I’m that much more sensitive to the fact that my own personal email, address, telephone number are now potentially compromised,' she said, noting the recent breach of the province’s freedom of information web portal, in which people’s personal information was exposed."
