Best Library Networks In Toronto Near Me

4worldlovers: On October 28, 2023, Toronto Public Library became aware of a cybersecurity incident. We immediately engaged with third-party security experts to help us resolve this situation, and have also filed a report with Toronto Police Service. On November 7, we confirmed that the incident was a ransomware attack.

Based on the ongoing investigation, we have now determined that sensitive data may have been exposed. Further investigation is required to determine the extent of the exposure and individuals affected.

We continue to actively collaborate with third-party experts to assess the scope of the exposure and individuals impacted. We anticipate the investigation will take some time to complete. We appreciate your patience and support. We will continue to be transparent, and provide further information as we learn more.
