Park'N Fly recently notified approximately 1 million customers of a data breach where an unauthorized third party gained access to their network through remote VPN access. While no credit card or payment information was compromised, exposed data includes full names, email addresses, physical addresses, Aeroplan numbers, and CAA numbers. With this breach, there may be an uptick in account hijacking attempts for these loyalty programs. Unlike bank accounts or credit cards, there are limited protections in place against fraud. Impacted customers are advised to stay vigilant against phishing attempts from unknown sources, whether through email or phone calls. It is recommended to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and update passwords on these accounts. While this may not entirely prevent such attacks, it can significantly increase security measures. Stay informed about the breach here: [Link to the article](https://lnkd.in/g2kuBaZk) Thanks CP24 Toronto's Breaking News for the interview on this topic and Sylvie Lendvay Allaer for setting it up.
