If you had diagnostic tests at LifeLabs in 2016 or earlier, your information could have been accessed in a recent cyber-attack.
That could include your name, address, email, login, passwords, date of birth, health card number and lab test results.
The attack affected around 85,000 people in Ontario. LifeLabs is apologizing to those who were affected and says the risk to customers is low. They haven’t seen anyone’s information leaked publicly after the attack, and will contact you directly if you were affected.
The company says they have already fixed the issues with their systems that allowed someone to break into their records. That included beefing up their security and making a payment to retrieve the data, under the guidance of experts familiar with cyber-criminals.
The LifeLabs has operations at the Fort Frances Community Clinic and other communities in northwestern Ontario.
