Cariboo Regional District Library among recent victims of cyber crime spree
QUESNEL – Cyber crime has picked up recently, with the most prominent attack causing London Drugs to temporarily shut down. However, its not the only victim, as the Cariboo Regional District Library in Quesnel was also a victim of a recent attack that saw some users’ cell phone numbers and email addresses obtained by a hacker. While a leak of any kind is never ideal, the B.C. Libraries Cooperative calls the data obtained “minimal.”
“Only those two things were leaked. Main names were not attached to it, the information about checkouts were not attached to it. The location of these patrons were also not part of that leaked information,” said Cariboo Regional District Manager of Library Services Anton Dounts.
