LCBO says some customer information leaked via 3rd party data breach.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) says the personal data of some customers has been compromised in a data breach for the second time this year.
The provincial Crown corporation said that it was informed an unauthorized party gained access to certain LCBO subscriber data.
Recently, the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) announced that some of their customersā information has been leaked as a result of a third-party data breach.
This data breach has been linked to a third-party vendor who handles customer service inquiries on behalf of the LCBO.
The LCBO has stated that the data breach may have exposed customersā names, emails, and phone numbers, as well as their beverage preferences.
The LCBO has also stated that no financial or payment information was leaked as a result of the breach.
The LCBO has taken immediate action to contain the breach and secure their systems. They have also notified the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
The LCBO is also working with the third-party vendor to investigate the breach and take further steps to protect their customersā data.
The LCBO has also notified their customers of the breach and is offering them the chance to opt-out of receiving marketing emails. They are also offering customers the chance to change their passwords and review their account information to ensure it is up to date.
The LCBO is taking the data breach seriously and is doing everything in their power to protect their customersā data. It is important that customers take the necessary steps to secure their accounts and protect their personal information.
Customers should also remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or unauthorized access to their accounts.
No matter the size of the business, data breaches can happen to anyone. Businesses must take the necessary steps to protect their customersā data and ensure their systems are secure.
Data breaches can have serious consequences, so it is important that businesses take the necessary steps to protect their customersā data.
