Personal information of some 26,000 patients at one of the country’s biggest hospital groups may have been copied by an attacker in June.

Orthopedics involves bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves.
The database included the names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, sex, medical assessments and patients’ provincial health insurance numbers.
