A cybersecurity incident occurred at the Toronto Public Library (TPL), and efforts to restore services are still ongoing. TPL has stated that the incident resulted in the theft of employees' home addresses, social insurance numbers, names, and birthdays. It was discovered that the library had not paid a ransom to get the stolen content back.

A cyberattack has affected the services provided by the Toronto Public Library; however, materials are still available for loan at all 100 of the library's branches. There is no proof that the private information of our employees or patrons has been hacked, the library stated in a statement posted on its homepage. TPL has taken proactive steps to anticipate cybersecurity problems and has moved quickly to take action to lessen any potential effects. Nevertheless, printing services at the branches and PCs accessible to the general public are unavailable.
