#Telus is a #Canadian company

Stolen Data including - "...FBI background check information and source code ​spanning multiple business divisions within the business services and telecommunications company"

Did every employee give permission or know that the US FBI was the source for "background checks" in this #Canadian Company?!

Personally, as a Canadian, I would not want a file created with my personal data at the FBI 🤬

OTTAWA - The Privacy Commissioner of Canada today held a press conference regarding the digital attack on Telus Canada's networks and information systems. Telus recently announced that attackers had claimed to have exfiltrated nearly 1 petabyte of company data, including customer data, equivalent to approximately 250,000 DVD movies.

The Commissioner announced a full investigation will take place. He also indicated that Canadian consumers should not be excessively worried about the breach of their personally identifiable information (PII), as the attackers will still be obligated to follow the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada's data privacy law since passage in 2000.

This afternoon I switched from #Bell to #Telus for Internet services. Making sure everything is working correctly, called Bell to cancel their service. After talking/hold/talking/hold for 39min:17sec got what should’ve taken maybe 5-10min: a return label for the modem.

Long story short: Bell sucks.
