Not what I typically post about but I feel it's my civic duty to make a post about this:
If you voted in the last Alberta election back in 2023, your private info (name, address, phone number etc) has been leaked.

Reminder to:
be extra wary of scam messages and calls, etc. let unknown numbers go to voicemail - if it's important, they'll leave a message.
keep an eye on your banking and credit.
do not click links in suspicious emails or texts; report fraud directly to the business / bank, or to the police.

At the time of posting there's very little recourse for Albertans whose data has been leaked, but you can certainly find out who your MLA is and demand answers.
