TORONTO -- Canada Post has informed 44 of its large business customers that information relating to more than 950,000 customers was compromised after one of its suppliers fell victim to a malware attack late last week.
Commport Communications is used by Canada Post to manage the shipping manifest data of large parcel business customers. The postal service said that, after a “detailed forensic investigation,” there is no evidence that any financial information was breached.The information is from July 2016 to March 2019The remainder contained an email address and/or phone number
“We are now working closely with Commport Communications and have engaged external cyber security experts to fully investigate and take action,” Canada Post said.
Hopefully whoever stole this information mailed it to the person who planned to use it via Canada Post. If so nobody has anything to worry about as it will just get lost.
