St. Anne’s identified and addressed a data security incident that disrupted the operations of some of its IT systems. The incident was first identified on September 3, 2021, and St. Anne’s immediately took steps to secure its systems, launched an investigation, and a third-party forensic investigator was engaged to assist.
