BC Lotteries delayed relaying security breach to minister
17 Sep 2010
The BC Lottery Corporation also claimed initially that the PlayNow site was down because of high traffic rather than a security breach, the report said.
The first email sent by BC Lottery CEO to the Minister responsible for gaming Rich Coleman did not disclose the problem as a security breach. A second email later that day admitted it, the Vancouver Sun report said.
A public report into the security breach has been instigated by the Privacy Commissioner, the Vancouver Sun report noted.
