As we continue to investigate, we would like to provide an update on the nature and extent of the incident that impacted our web portal and phone system.
On January 5, 2024, we discovered that an unauthorized third-party gained access to a portion of our network and impacted a number of our systems across the organization. Upon discovering this, we immediately undertook countermeasures to prevent further unauthorized activity including taking many of our systems offline. We have retained third-party cybersecurity experts to assist with containment, remediation and to conduct a forensic investigation to determine the cause and extent of this incident. We have also engaged external legal counsel and have notified law enforcement.
We are undergoing a thorough review and investigation process to identify what, if any, data has been impacted. We will communicate directly with any organization and/or individual impacted by this incident promptly.
We want to thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this cybersecurity incident may have caused.
Thank you for your continued support.
The Ontario One Call Team
