N.L. government data involved in 2nd security breach
For the second time in as many months, private information from a Newfoundland and Labrador agency has been exposed over the internet.
In late November, the provincial government disclosed that lab test results had leaked out after an external consultant removed a computer from the Provincial Public Health Laboratory and then installed a file-sharing program.
In the new instance, data from the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission may have been exposed, Justice Minister Jerome Kennedy said, as well as justice department files related to occupational health and safety.
