HRSDC lost personal information of 500,000 people

Wolf 335 · 02-05-2013, 04:00 PM

So has anyone been affected by this mess?

Human Resorurces and Skills Development Canada had an employee missplace an external portable hard drive containing first/last names, mailing address, birth date, student loan amount, Social Insurance Number

If you haven't received a letter fromk HRSDC they are advising that you still call them and reconfirm.

1-866-885-1866 or

416-572-1113

Serious matter at hand folks!

Containing information from year 2000 - 2006

I would suggest affected people contact lawyers, and see what your options are.

I wouln't be suprised if theres a big class action lawsuit
