The provincial government says the privacy commissioner’s findings from the eHealth Saskatchewan cyberattack reported on January 10, 2020 is “deeply troubling.”
The report, completed by the Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC), contains 25 recommendations directed to eHealth, the Ministry of Health and the Saskatchewan Health Authority regarding the data breach and subsequent events.
On Friday afternoon, Health Minister Paul Merriman said Saskatchewan residents expect their personal health information to be secure and protected, but admitted that expectation failed when eHealth’s systems were breached.
“Everything about what happened at eHealth is concerning to me,” stated Merriman. “At the end of the day, the responsibility is mine with what happens with people’s personal health information, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly at all.”
