A data breach has impacted the post-secondary application portal managed by EducationPlannerBC. The incident was identified on November 3, according to a Thursday update. The breach affected the application system used by students applying to post-secondary institutions in British Columbia.

EducationPlannerBC confirmed the cybersecurity incident and is working to address the issue. The affected system is used by applicants to submit their information for admission to colleges and universities. The breach may have exposed sensitive personal and academic data.
