Update on CPA Canada cybersecurity breach
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today, CPA Canada announced that it was targeted by a cyberattack on its data security. While cybersecurity breaches always elicit concerns, we can offer reassurance regarding the Quebec CPA Order and the information we have about our members and CPA candidates.
- The Quebec CPA Order’s websites and platforms are completely separate from and independent of those of CPA Canada and were not targeted by this cyberattack.
- The information that the Quebec CPA Order shares with CPA Canada is relatively limited in nature and scope.
- For security reasons, the Quebec CPA Order does not store any credit card numbers, so it cannot share such information with anyone.
- To ensure the security of the Order’s facilities and data, we implement a series of detection and prevention measures consistent with best practices.
