McCarthy Tétrault, one of Canada’s top corporate law firms, is dealing with a major data breach that has compromised thousands of files, including client information.
The breach occurred over the last week, according to two sources familiar with the matter, and one source directly involved said 31,000 files were stolen.
The Globe and Mail is not naming the sources because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
McCarthy Tétrault confirmed the breach to The Globe and Mail, but declined to comment on the number of affected files.
The firm, which advises on some of the highest profile deals in Canada, has been reaching out to Bay Street clients this week and informing them of the breach. Clients are currently in the process of learning what information has been compromised.
