Independent MLA Thomas Dang says he won't run again, or seek to rejoin the NDP
Alberta MLA Thomas Dang says he won't run for re-election after admitting to hacking into Alberta's COVID-19 vaccination records website.
"Given the lengthy nature of the investigation and proceedings into my actions related to the security test I performed on the Government of Alberta's COVID-19 Vaccination Records website, I believe my continued candidacy for the Alberta NDP distracts from the important work ahead," Dang's statement said.
At the time, he said he was trying to generate proof of the government website's vulnerabilities before alerting the province. Caucus staff relayed the information to the health minister's office, but did not say that it came from Dang.RCMP spent months investigating the security breach. In June, police charged Dang with illegally attempting to access private information in contravention of the Health Information Act. It's not a criminal charge, but could result in a fine of up to $200,000.
