This is the best summary I could come up with:
The private medical diagnostics company and its subsidiaries were the target of a cyberattack on Dec. 17, 2019 that compromised patient data for around 15 million customers, mostly in British Columbia and Ontario.
Hackers accessed personal information, including health numbers and test results, according to the claim.
LifeLabs has denied claims of negligence brought in the class action lawsuit.
Anyone who was a LifeLabs customer on or before Dec. 17, 2019 and who lives in Canada as of Oct. 25, 2023 can now file a claim online through the class action's website.
Claimants will be eligible for $50 to $150 in compensation, "from which will be deducted court-approved legal fees, disbursements and taxes," according to a statement from class administrator KPMG.
and Ontario's privacy watchdogs found LifeLabs had "failed to protect customers' personal information" in the 2019 breach.
