Unintended Deactivation of Access Cards
In February, several medical staff reported difficulties accessing Island Health sites with their proxy card. Security Control (SECCON) has confirmed there was an unintended deletion of 381 records, which has impacted some medical staff. The deletion occurred when an outdated data server was overloaded with records. Unfortunately, there is no way of determining whose access cards have been impacted. Sporadic deactivations may occur until the server capacity issue is addressed by SECCON.
