Information on a server regarding personal details of members of the Social Security Fund was exposed, however in this particular case the the hacker reported the leak and it was not announced until the issue was resolved.


In the last hour today the choral group “Cantus” is represented by Nancy Boyd. Cantus is a great supporter of the St Lukes Cathedral part of Panama’s history they present a couple of concerts per year to help towards the costs. The upcoming event is on the 2nd June at St Lukes 3pm. Put it in your diaries.
