Canadian Engineer Association Delivers Member Records to Bad Folks
Nonprofit // Canada
An association that regulates engineers and geoscientists sent tens of thousands of member records containing personal information to an unknown party during a phishing incident.
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta is telling members not to respond to emails that appear to come from the organization and not to provide any personal information by email, including member ID, credit card information or passwords.
The association inadvertently handed over the first names, last names and email addresses of members.
Some, if not all members, received notification emails the same day the breach happened.
