Ontario’s chief justices say personal information from those involved in the province’s court system may have been stolen in a cyber attack. The breach targeted an online case management system used by the courts and owned by Thomson Reuters Canada Limited, occurring in June. The disclosure comes as authorities confirm that data from the system could include sensitive details tied to Ontario’s court processes. Officials have not specified which categories of information were compromised or the exact scope of affected records. The breach highlights cybersecurity vulnerabilities facing the judiciary and the technology provider. No authorities have announced any charges or timeline for remediation, but the incident has prompted calls for heightened protections and ongoing monitoring as the system remains potentially exposed to further unauthorized access. Further updates are expected as investigations continue and affected individuals are notified.
