The detailed medical histories and contact information of 10,000 of home-care patients in Ontario are being held for ransom by thieves.

They raided the computer systems of a health-care provider.

Personal health and financial information of patients had been inappropriately accessed.

Information compromised included phone numbers and addresses, dates of birth, and health card numbers, detailed medical histories including past conditions, diagnoses, surgical procedures, care plans and medications for patients across the province.

It also contained more than 140 active patient credit card numbers and expiry dates, many with security codes.
