Five Ontario hospitals affected by a ransomware attack last fall say they're mailing more than 326,000 letters to notify patients whose personal information was stolen.
However, they say personal health information stored elsewhere on the hospitals' systems was stolen and some of that data was published on the dark web. “This incident was complex, and the data analysis took several months to complete,” the hospitals said Wednesday in their statement. The hospitals said they discussed their patient notification approach with Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner.
