An Ontario health agency has begun to inform patients of a data breach that Liberal MPP Adil Shamji says occurred in March and has affected at least 200,000 patients.
Ontario Health atHome published a public notice saying it was advised by one of its vendors, Ontario Medical Supply (OMS) of a system outage. Upon investigation, OMS notified Ontario Health atHome that the outage was a cybersecurity attack and that patients’ health information had been breached, the June 27 notice says.
