that has been badly exploited (200,000 Canadian social insurance numbers were leaked today [4])
but your link has the number 900, not 200,000. Moreover, my understanding is that numbers like this are a commodity: leaking the number is the least significant part of this process and criminals already have more than they can use, if not all 30 million.
That’s been fixed. I was pretty surprised about this mistake. I remember finding that Canadian website link via a news article discussing the impact of Heartbleed. Maybe I copied the number from the news article, but somehow got mixed up while switching between the two pages and ended up grabbing a number that was relevant to some other topic on the news page. Thanks for catching that.
