A local legal firm, Bob Buckingham Law, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Canada Life in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador. The lawsuit addresses a data breach that occurred last month, which reportedly affected approximately 70,000 people nationwide. The incident came to light after questions were raised in the House of Assembly last week, with Finance Minister Craig Pardy confirming that affected provincial government employees had been notified. The lawsuit alleges that a hacker accessed sensitive personal information, including emails, names, dates of birth, gender, mailing addresses, earnings information, and insurance plan details. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law stated that the case is focused on accountability, emphasizing that organizations collecting and storing sensitive personal information must take appropriate steps to protect that data.
