The personal company isn't very safe. I knew it can be problematic one day. I was right. The leak exposed approximately 1 billion records of personal data from 26 countries including Canada.

Full names
Addresses
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Email addresses

The data was left unsecured. I'm very disappointed in WS security and privacy policy.

Maybe I should do StudioTax this year. Didn't know abt Better Tax! It appears that it can save to a local file. Still not as private as StudioTax but nice.

Genu tax is recommended. Same as Studiotax. I can't install the software.. on my MacBook. It's for windows.
