From the source
In April 2026, Canada Life was the victim of a "pay or leak" extortion campaign by the ShinyHunters group . The group subsequently published the data which contained over 200k unique email addresses along with names, phone numbers, physical addresses and, in some cases, customer support tickets. In their disclosure notice , Canada Life advised that "it is a small proportion of our customers who may have been impacted". In the wake of the incident, Canada Life also published an alert cautioning customers to be wary of phishing attacks , a pattern often seen after the public release of breached data.
