Canadian laboratory testing firm LifeLabs revealed that it paid hackers to return information stolen after a data breach and exposing some 15 million customers.

The breach took place in October and included sensitive patient information, such as names, addresses, logins and passwords, health card numbers, dates of birth.

Charles Brown, President and CEO, explains that most customers are based in B.C. and Ontario, “with relatively few customers in other locations.”

“While you are entitled to file a complaint with the privacy commissioners, we have already notified them of this breach and they are investigating the matter. We have also notified our government partners,” Brown stated.
