The breach happened on Nov. 16, 2021 and the Ontario Provincial Police charged two people, including an employee of the province's vaccine contact centre
TORONTO — The Ontario government began notifying about 360,000 people on Friday that their personal information had been part of a COVID-19 vaccine database breach that took place more than a year ago.The government said it takes time to determine the scale and impact of such a breach.
"Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine booking system is regularly monitored and tested as part of the Ministry of Health's cybersecurity protocols," it wrote in a statement. For about 95 per cent of the 360,000 people affected, the government said only their names and/or phone numbers were involved. Investigators charged two people – a 22-year-old from Gloucester, Ont., and a 22-from Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que. – with one count each of unauthorized use of a computer.
