In May 2017, Bell, a Canadian telecommunications company, allegedly suffered a data breach that exposed millions of customer records. The data was later leaked online with a message from the attacker claiming it was released due to Bell’s lack of cooperation and threatening further disclosures. The incident reportedly exposed more than 2 million unique email addresses and 153,000 survey results dating back to 2011 and 2012. In addition, 162 Bell employee records containing names, phone numbers, and plain text passcodes were also compromised.
