Dissent Doe :cupofcoffee:<p>Reading comprehension assistance needed, please. I don't understand this paragraph below:</p><p>"On June 10, 2025, Precision Endodontics of Raleigh discovered that its email account had been accessed by an unknown entity and that phishing emails were sent out to a small part of its prior contact list. In addition, its contact list of names and email addresses were compromised by the unknown entity. No evidence exits (sic) to suggest that there has been any attempt to misuse any of the information."</p><p>Isn't the last sentence contradicted by the prior statement that phishing emails were sent out?

Dissent Doe :cupofcoffee:<p>The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario has completed a review into Daixin Team's massive cyberattack on five regional hospitals in 2023 and found hospital officials acted “adequately.”</p><p>Perhaps the most notable aspect of the report (from my perspective) was that the IPC said the hospitals were obligated to notify patients whose data had been encrypted (and not just those whose data had been exfiltrated). They saw no point in requiring that now, but wanted it noted that it should have happened.</p><p>So that seems to be making PHIPA's interpretation clearer for future victims of encryption incidents. </p><p>The full report makes an interesting read. </p><p>PHIPA Decision 284:<br><a href="https://decisions.ipc.on.ca/ipc-cipvp/phipa/en/item/521986/index.do" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">decisions.ipc.on.ca/ipc-cipvp/</span><span class="invisible">phipa/en/item/521986/index.do</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PHIPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PHIPA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/notification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>notification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/incidentmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incidentmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/databreach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>databreach</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ransomware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ransomware</span></a></p>
