What would you do if your company lost sensitive client information that was not properly password protected? Can you afford a $40M lawsuit? Here is an update on the Montfort Hospital security breach. Secure your data – RJR can help.<\/h4>\n

OTTAWA \u2014 A group of patients whose personal information was lost is suing Montfort Hospital in Ottawa for $40 million.<\/p>\n

The suit stems from a lost USB memory stick that contained information on 25,000 patients. The stick was lost in November 2012 before it was eventually recovered.<\/p>\n

The memory stick contained patient names, a summary of services received, the date of service and a code representing the health care provider on the case. It also included information on 1,255 members of the Canadian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs are accusing the Montfort of breach of contract, negligence, breach of privacy and violating its own bylaws and the Personal Health Information and Protection Act (PHIPA),<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contract offered peace of mind to the plaintiffs and the class members,\u201d reads the statement of claim. \u201c(They) believed that their personal information would be kept in a secure manner and would not be lost, disseminated or disclosed to unauthorized persons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suit charges the hospital also failed to ensure the memory device was password protected and that the hospital \u201cfailed to disclose the loss of personal information \u201cin a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Montfort had previously said it had no reason to believe a third party accessed the information in the time it was missing.<\/p>\n

The Montfort did not immediately respond to the QMI Agency\u2019s request for comment on the lawsuit. The hospital has not yet filed a statement of defence and none of the allegations have been proven in court.<\/p>\n
