Personal data tied to over 50,000 current and former health-care workers in Nova Scotia may have been accessed during a recent security breach through their pension plan. Cowell said the pension plan was not the only Accellion customer affected. Cowell said the pension plan has yet to see any evidence that any data was stolen. Cowell said the pension plan has tried "to be as transparent as possible about this potential breach of data." In addition to the Accellion investigation, the pension plan said told members an independent investigator is looking into the incident.
