LifeLabs announced it was a target of a cyber attack in October 2019 and that millions of LifeLab customers may have had personal information , including lab results accessed.

The Ontario Supreme Court of Justice will hold a hearing on October 25 to potentially approve the settlement.

As part of the proposed settlement, LifeLabs would “not admit … any allegation of unlawful conduct” or liability.
