    A member of the Alberta legislature who admitted to hacking the province’s COVID-19 vaccine records portal has been ordered to pay a $7,200 fine.

    Thomas Dang was sentenced today by a provincial court judge and must pay the fine by the end of June.

    Dang, who sits as an independent member representing Edmonton South, pleaded guilty Nov. 4 to a charge under the Health Information Act of unlawfully attempting to gain access to private information.

    He said that when he ran into roadblocks to breaching the vaccination site, he used former premier Jason Kenney’s date of birth and vaccination dates, both publicly available, which allowed him to breach the site’s privacy protections.

    The 27-year-old said he does not intend to seek re-election in the spring of 2023.
