Improvements made after Young Worker Readiness Course app breached
The Saskatchewan government says cybersecurity has been improved after an unauthorized breach of the Young Worker Readiness Certificate Course application.
The third-party app is externally hosted and not linked directly to any Government of Saskatchewan networks, the government said, and no provincial systems were compromised in the breach.
“While an initial investigation did not indicate any evidence that personal information was compromised, there is a potential for information to have been breached,” the government noted.
That information would have been entered by users between Jan. 5, 2021 and Dec. 4 of this year, the government said. It could include names, places of residence, email addresses, details regarding Indigenous identity, school, and age.
