About this breach
In May 2017, the Bell Telecommunication Company in Canada suffered from data leakage, as a result of which millions of customer notes were disclosed. Subsequently, the data were posted to the network with a message from an attacker, which said that they “reveal a significant part of Bell.cas data due to the fact that they did not cooperate with us” and a threat of leakage of more data was contained. The injured data included more than 2 million unique email addresses and 153 thousand results of surveys dating from 2011 and 2012.
