Government of Nova Scotia

Nearly two months after first learning of the problem, the province of Nova Scotia is still unaware of the extent of the MOVEit security breach.

They are instructed to anticipate information on what private data was accessed and what actions need to be performed.

The deceased employees and retired teachers have also been impacted.

Parents of students whose data was exposed have just received warnings from the Halifax Regional Centre for Education representatives.
