A database of business and private residence security cameras was accidentally made public, according to the City of Brandon.
The Brandon Police Service database that contains information on private security cameras and contact information, which is used to assist in investigations, was never meant to be publically available.
The City of Brandon was made aware of the privacy breach on Wednesday, October 21st and had pulled the information offline within 15 minutes.
The City said the information was available for 5 days before being removed, and that it looks like the only person who had accessed the map was the individual that brought it to the city’s attention.
The City has reported this situation to the Manitoba Ombudsman.
