Justice Institute employee sues ICBC for privacy breach that allegedly led to her vehicle torched, bullets fired at home

Posted on April 19, 2013 by Dissent

I had described it as what might be the worst – or one of the worst – breaches of 2011. An unnamed employee of  the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) had allegedly accessed information on over 60 people and passed the information along to an unidentified man. At least 13 students associated with the college were subsequently victimized by the shooting/arson incidents.

Now Neal Hall reports that another lawsuit has been filed against ICBC by one of the victims.

Given that this came to light in September 2011, I’m mildly surprised that no criminal charges have as yet been filed in this case.
