TORONTO — Thousands of former and current CBC employees are at risk of having their information such as social insurance numbers, employee and tax records compromised, due to a security breach reported by the CBC on Wednesday. The CBC, RCMP and a municipal police force are investigating the recent break-in, CBC spokesman Douglas Chow said. “We understand how concerning this is, and we sincerely regret that this incident has occurred,” Chow said in a statement. Those compromised could be anyone who has worked at the CBC in the last year and a half, including current employees, those on extended leave, outside contractors and some former employees. “We take this very seriously and we are making sure such a situation does not happen again,” Chow added.
