Ca: Coleman Group says it caught cyberattack in progress that may have accessed employee files

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Dissent

Mike Moore reports:

The Coleman Group of Companies says it was the target of a cyberattack in late February and has reason to believe some of its human resources and payroll files were accessed.

According to the company, those files contain names, addresses, social insurance numbers and banking information of employees both past and present.

Greg Gill, vice-president of marketing, told CBC News the company’s IT team discovered and quickly stopped the attack — while it was in progress — on the weekend of Feb. 20.
