Toronto based medical test provider LifeLabs says it paid a ransom to retrieve hijacked data, after personal information of approximately 15 million customers was breached in a cyberattack on the company’s computers.
The medical testing company said in a statement on Tuesday that cyber criminals may have accessed the personal information of over 15 million customers, mostly in B.C. and Ontario, including “name, address, email, login, passwords, date of birth, health card number and lab test results” sometime in late October.
