As we take our patrons' privacy very seriously, we want to inform you of a brief minor security breach incident that occurred on April 19th to our library operating system, SITKA. The leaked data was limited to email addresses or phone numbers of people who received automated messages such as such as holds notifications from SITKA from March 27th to April 19th. No individual library information, other identifying information, contents or subject lines of emails, or any information about people's checkouts, holds or fines were leaked. The BC Libraries Co-op that operates SITKA believes the main harm that can come from the leaking of this information is a potential increase in spam, phishing or spear phishing attacks.We have not had any reports of any issues yet. Please contact our Library Director Wendy Cinnamon if you have any concerns or if you have experienced any problematic communication.
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks . . .until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things--monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity?if not kill them outright. But that doesn't explain who would unleash such horror--or why. And if Eve can't figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it's airborne.
