18 Feb 2026 Fraser Health Authority, Provincial Health Services Authority, Vancouver Coastal HealthBritish Columbia: 36 hospital staff accessed records of Lapu-Lapu Day victims without authorisation Canada, BCData breaches and data security Other

Following the tragedy at the Lapu-Lapu Day festival in 2025, 36 employees of three health authorities accessed patient data of 16 admitted persons without authorisation in 71 instances. Those affected were not informed without undue delay; the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia (OIPC BC) made nine recommendations, including automated access monitoring and deterrent disciplinary measures.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
