Lawsuit Launched Against LifeLabs

, ,

A proposed class-action lawsuit against LifeLabs has been launched over its privacy breach.

The personal information from as many as 15-million Canadians may have been accessed in a cyber-attack the company admitted to last week.

The legal firm behind the lawsuit says the full extent of the breach is not fully known and LifeLabs has not directly notified affected patients.

The allegations still need to be proven before a court.

The LifeLabs side of the Dingwall Clinic in Dryden opened in 2017 so it is unlikely Dryden customers are affected by access to lab results.

Capital One Data Breach Affects Millions

, ,

A data breach at Capital One Bank has affected six million Canadian customers, and 100 million in the United States.

The hacker got access to personal information, credit card information and credit scores, according to the bank.

For Canadians, approximately one million Social Insurance Numbers were compromised. Affected individuals have been notified.

The FBI has found and arrested the person responsible for the incident. The bank says vulnerabilities in its system have been fixed, and an investigation is still ongoing.

It also says it’s unlikely that the information access was used for any type of fraud or disseminated by the individual. Customers can remain updated on the situation online.
