Summary

For Canadian Armed Forces veterans, your medical data is not secure. A recent audit of VAC revealed significant issues with their level of data protection, akin to an "Afghan police officer at a checkpoint" in terms of security. This video dives into the structural failures in how sensitive information is managed, highlighting a worrying lack of oversight and outdated data practices. It also exposes a major hypocrisy: the government enacted a cybersecurity law that conveniently exempts many of its own departments, including Veterans Affairs Canada, from critical legal compliance, leaving your data vulnerable to cybercrime.
