The Health Employers Association of British Columbia said Tuesday that the attack was on three websites it hosts, and personal information associated with 240,000 email addresses of health-care workers may have been seized.
"I sincerely regret this event happened, and want to reassure everyone that we are working with cybersecurity and privacy experts to address the incident, safeguard against future attacks and notify and support individuals whose personal information may have been involved," he said at a news conference.
One of the compromised sites was used to recruit physicians, registered nurses and other health professionals on behalf of health employers. The others helped with vacation coverage for rural doctors and registered care aides working in places including long-term care facilities. He said that"obviously there's an impact" when authorities had to inform people that their information may have been compromised and to offer them protection.
