Presumably Cavoukian is not a IT specialist and they were or, if not, they should have consulted with the IT experts.<br /><br />@runleyfips<br />As I understand it something as big as the Government of Ontario should have regular (probably daily) backups to an secure off-site storage facility just in case of some minor problem like the Great Rainstorm of 2013 that BigCityLib so telling described in an earlier post. Or more seriously like Calgary. <br /><br />So yes the accounts would probably be wiped but off-site storage might have years of records but I'm not an IT expert either.<br />jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-39162577345196915782013-07-11T09:03:58.352-04:002013-07-11T09:03:58.352-04:00I always thought that standard practice when an em...I always thought that standard practice when an employee moves on is to close their email account and delete the contents.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.com
