37,800 people sent privacy breach notifications linked to Newfoundland and Labrador cyberattack

Posted on July 21, 2022 by Dissent

Rob Antle reports:

Newfoundland and Labrador’s largest health authority has notified 37,800 people that their privacy was breached as part of last fall’s devastating cyberattack.

That number equates to about one in every 13 people in the province.

And according to Eastern Health, it could go even higher.

Those affected include patients, along with current and former employees.

The Department of Health steered interview requests to Eastern Health, which did not make anyone available for an interview.
