Desjardins Group To Offer Data Protection to Customers Affected by Breach
Desjardins Group Chief Executive Guy Cormier said the credit union federation will offer free, permanent data protection to all its members in the wake of last month's data breach that affected 2.7 million individuals.
According to a news report, the protection will be rolled out for all clients, not just the roughly 2.7 million people and 173,000 businesses affected by the data breach. All Desjardins credit union clients, said Cormier, including business customers, will have access to data protection for life and in-house services to help address identity theft, but the protection will not be extended to investment and insurance customers.
