The HRSDC office informed me, via email, that the lost hard drive was a Seagate GoFlex.
However, when bureaucrats from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) lost an external hard drive containing the personal information of 583,000 Canada Student Loan borrowers (from the years 2000 to 2006), people didn't seem to care that much.
But they're going to do that anyway; HRSDC also informed me that the new protocols would include "mandatory training for all employees regarding the proper handling of sensitive information, including personal information".
The agency is providing free-of-charge credit protection from Equifax Canada, but if you really want to milk the ol' government titty, you can contact one of three law firms and join their class action lawsuit against the HRSDC.
The HRSDC office informs me that as a result of strict new security protocols, the agency will "no longer permit the use of external hard drives" for the management of sensitive data.
But don't get too worried if you're one of the potential victims, because the HRSDC insists they have "no evidence that any of the information has been accessed or used for fraudulent purposes," suggesting that the data loss was probably a case of negligence rather than sinister intent.
