City of Toronto

Toronto residents’ data was improperly shared with the councilor’s office in a privacy breach that exposed 7,000 Torontonians personal information.

A city transportation director named Vincent Sferrazza informs 7,227 participants in a program for senior citizens and disabled people who receive free sidewalk snow clearing of an "inadvertent disclosure" that included their names, addresses, and whether they were senior citizens or disabled.

Sferrazza wrote, apologizing and saying his department is working with the city clerk’s office to stop it from happening again.
