The B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to take action after LifeLabs announced hackers accessed the personal information of up to 15 million of its customers.
The Liberals say in a statement they want the province to outline what measures it will take to ensure the government is not vulnerable to future data breaches and extortion attempts.
Health critic Norm Letnick says the breach is one of B.C.'s largest in recent history and it raises serious questions about how private companies and the government handle personal information.
