Alberta elections officials say more than 550 people accessed renegade voter database

A third investigation is now underway into a massive privacy breach involving a separatist group and the personal information of nearly three million Albertans.

Last week, R-C-M-P and the province’s elections agency announced their own probes into an online database of the province’s voter list published by a group called the Centurion Project.

Alberta’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Diane McLeod’s office now says she is also looking into whether the group’s actions violate the privacy law that protects personal information.

It also comes as the scope of the breach comes into sharper focus.
