Over 100 fertility patients had data breached by N.L. Health Services

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Dissent

CBC News reports:

When Kelsey Puddister-Collins opened an email from Newfoundland and Labrador Fertility Services on Tuesday, she said she was mortified to see the names and email addresses of over 100 people on the email list.

Puddister-Collins’ information was among those shared in a data breach. The email was a survey about her experience in receiving the province’s fertility subsidy, which people can avail of when travelling out of province for procedures like in vitro fertilization.

“I realized that I was carbon copied with 126 other people. So they forgot to [blind carbon copy] us in the email, and so all of our emails were kind of just all out there,” Puddister-Collins told CBC News on Wednesday. “First and last names, and emails for everyone to see.”
