LifeLabs, Canada’s biggest private provider of diagnostic testing for health care, was hit by a cyberattack Nov. 1 on systems containing the private information of 15 million patients, mostly in British Columbia and Ontario, officials said Tuesday.
The attack saw cyber criminals penetrate company systems that contained data including names, addresses, emails, passwords, health card numbers and test results where they extracted data and demanded a ransom, according to a news release issued jointly by the offices of the information and privacy commissioners of B.C. and Ontario.
