   DVD With Tax Information of 28,000 Yukoners Lost, Says Canada Revenue Agency   
   :CRA SOTW   
      
   The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says an encrypted DVD containing tax   
   information of approximately 28,000 Yukon taxpayers, has been lost by a   
   courier company.   
      
   The CRA issued a news release late Friday afternoon saying it had been   
   notified of the loss, but did not say when it happened. The DVD had been sent   
   by registered courier service and was destined for the Government of Yukon.   
      
   Yukon's total population in 2016 was 37,642.   
      
   "At this time, there is no indication that the data has been accessed or   
   used," the release says.   
      
   "And given the strong security measures in place, the risk is thought to be   
   very low that the taxpayers' information would be compromised even if an   
   unauthorized individual were to gain possession of the DVD."   
      
   The CRA says the information, which is from Yukon in the 2014 tax filing year,   
   is encrypted using an "accredited encryption module," approved by the   
   Communications Security Establishment for use on information of this nature.   
      
   The courier service has launched a search for the missing disc, and the CRA   
   has notified Canada's privacy commissioner.   
      
   Yukon MP Larry Bagnell said he's surprised that a courier company "would lose   
   something that should be so secure."   
      
   Bagnell also suggested that, in future, he could offer his own delivery   
   service.   
      
   "I go every week to Ottawa," he said. "I was thinking I could just take it."   
      
   The CRA says people affected by the loss will be notified by mail. Anyone with   
   questions can also call the CRA at 1-866-426-1527, Monday to Friday, between 9   
   a.m. and 5 p.m. PT.
