Lynn Greiner reports:

The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board has sent letters to students and former students informing them their personal information was compromised in a cyber attack that was first announced on Dec. 15, 2022. The attack initially took down the board’s website, as well as telephones, public address systems, and email for all board sites.
