Saskatchewan Health Clinics Breached, 7,200+ Patient Records Stolen

Hackers accessed sensitive health and personal data from Innomar clinics earlier this year, prompting calls for stronger protections.

  • Hackers breached Innomar clinics in Saskatchewan, compromising the personal and medical information of 7,293 patients across four locations.
  • The breach, which began in January 2024, exposed data such as names, addresses, health conditions, lab results, and medical history.
  • Innomar detected the breach in February but did not confirm the full scope of the stolen data until April, notifying affected patients in May.
  • The Saskatchewan privacy commissioner criticized delays in notifying patients and recommended extending credit monitoring services to 10 years from the two currently offered.
  • Innomar has implemented measures to prevent future breaches, with no evidence of ongoing unauthorized access since February.
