Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada Data Breach (2013)

The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) deeply regrets the accidental loss of a portable device that contained personal information relating to clients of a number of investment firms. IIROC has taken several measures to notify the firms and their clients and to provide them with support services. As soon as IIROC learned of the loss, it conducted an internal investigation and retained an independent third-party security expert in forensics to determine what information was contained on the device.
