A massive data breach at Ontario Health atHome compromised the data of approximately 200,000 patients. The breach, which occurred on or around March 17, was not disclosed to patients until months later, in August. The breached information potentially includes names, contact information, and medical supplies or equipment ordered. The delay in notification has raised significant concerns and criticism from government officials and the public.
