+ | BC Libraries Cooperative sent out a Co-op wide notice on Wednesday April 24, 2024, about a security incident we experienced on April 19, 2024. We are now following up with members using specific Co-op services, as the incident had implications for your patrons’ information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The leaked log file contained the email address of anyone who received an email and the phone number of anyone who received an SMS message from a Co-op service between March 27 to April 19, 2024. This includes Sitka patrons who received automated notifications by email or SMS message for things like checkout receipts, overdue notices, and holds notifications during that period. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only the email addresses of people who received notifications or the phone number of people who received SMS notifications were leaked. The content of the notifications was NOT leaked. The leaked data does not say what the notifications were about, and it does NOT reveal any other information about patrons or their library use, such as checkouts and holds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The exploit which allowed the attacker to gain access to this log file was closed on April 19, 2024. | ||
