The personal information of more than three thousand children in daycares throughout Durham Region was stolen in a cyberattack early this year that CTV News Toronto has learned is larger than previously known.
That data from some 80 daycares, which also included the detailed vaccination records of some 200 children, was recently discovered on a website with ties to a Ukrainian group believed to be involved in ransomware attacks that was raided by police in June.
Records seem to indicate that the personal information of some 3200 children and their families were taken as part of a file transfer that appears to be related to the uploading of the children’s vaccination status to the region’s health department.
