Canadian government contractors suffered a devastating data breach late last month
A LockBit attack on a specialist supplier of relocation services has engulfed multiple government agencies in Canada.
Canada had information from an undisclosed number of current and former government employees, including those in the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, exposed following data breaches impacting its contractors Brookfield Global Relocation Services and SIRVA Worldwide Relocation & Moving Services, according to SecurityAffairs.
The federal government is warning current and former public service employees and members of the RCMP and Canadian Armed Forces their personal and financial information for as early as 1999 may have been accessed in a data breach.
