This is the best summary I could come up with:


The hospitals said they anticipate an update on the restoration of systems in the coming days and they have reported findings to the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner.

"We understand the concern this incident has raised within our communities, including patients and our employees and professional staff, and we deeply apologize."

An expert told CBC while the author, who uses the pseudonym Dissent Doe, has a track record of credibility, specific claims made by hackers should be taken with some skepticism.

Dissent writes that their description of what data was leaked is "intended to remind the public what can happen when threat actors can gain access to a network and why entities need to really evaluate whether they have adequate security for sensitive files."

During a news conference in Toronto on Monday, Minister of Health Sylvia Jones said Ontario Provincial Police continue to investigate the cyberattack.

"Without a doubt, we are very concerned when any type of patient access is compromised and we continue to support those hospitals to make sure that as they work through finding out exactly where the breach was and ... ensuring that doesn't happen again," Jones said.
