Canada halts intelligence sharing with Five Eyes after ‘accidentally’ sending over Canadians’ data
‘Canada has put a hold on sharing top secret spy data with the Five Eyes countries, including the US, after it was discovered that its NSA counterpart had shared info containing the personal details of Canadians, senior government officials said Thursday.
Authorities say they made the decision after learning that the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) agency had not properly hidden the metadata of Canadian citizens before sharing it with its international allies. Metadata includes the numbers and time stamps of phone calls, but excludes content.
“We want to make sure that software updates actually do what they’re supposed to do. And that’s why we have stopped that portion of metadata sharing. It’s very important that…we do protect the privacy of Canadians,” Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan told the media.’
