The Ontario birth registry, Better Outcomes Registry & Network (BORN), reported a data breach affecting almost 3.4 million persons.
The organization initiated an inquiry into the breach as soon as they became aware of the security problem and contacted the appropriate authorities, including the Ontario Provincial Police and the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) of Ontario.
The company acknowledged that it was a victim of the widespread hacking campaign launched by the Clop ransomware group against Progress MOVEit transfer systems.
In order to reduce the threat, safeguard its infrastructure, and determine the extent of the attack, BORN Ontario contacted cybersecurity specialists.
