BACKGROUND:
It has been reported that Canada Post has informed 44 of its large business customers that information relating to more than 950,000 customers was compromised after one of its suppliers fell victim to a malware attack late last week. Yesterday, the postal agency announced that Commport Communications, an electronic data interchange solution supplier, had notified them that manifest data held in their systems, which are associated with Canada Post customers, had been “compromised” in an attack on May 19. Commport Communications is used by Canada Post to manage the shipping manifest data of large parcel business customers.
