A major Canadian supermarket chain has notified customers in its loyalty program that their personal information was accessed during a cybersecurity breach.
"We are writing to let you know about an incident involving your personal information," the email read.
CBC News asked Save-On-Foods how many customers were affected in the data breach but did not receive a number by deadline.
The email said "based on the information available," no other personal information, such as credit card data or passwords, was accessed.
Frank explained that personal information is often used by cybercriminals to impersonate companies in emails requesting more information or containing malicious links, potentially allowing them to steal identities, banking information or credit card details.
