Report: “Toronto Public Library Says More Than 4,000 Non-Employees Affected by Cyberattack”
From CTV News:
A year after a cyberattack brought down systems at the Toronto Public Library (TPL) for months, the results of an investigation into the breach show that thousands of cardholders, donors, and unsuccessful job candidates may have also been affected.
In a news release issued Monday, the TPL released the results of its investigation into the hack, noting that the potentially compromised data of those 4,100 non-employees stemmed from their “dealings” with the library between 2010 and 2023.
Some of the personal data caught up in the breach include the contact information, physical descriptions, and even photo images of some of those individuals.
