Alberta Health Services

Almost 7,000 patients were informed by Alberta Health Services that a doctor's Gmail account had been stolen, exposing their personal health information.

The doctor working at the Richmond Road Diagnostic Centre in Calgary improperly used a private account to transmit health information

While this privacy breach was unintentional and was deeply regretted by the physician, that does not in any way diminish the seriousness of the matter.

There was no evidence to suggest that affected patients' information has been accessed by the hacker, the agency says.
