  "account": "Winnipeg-based Canadian Mennonite University fell victim to a cyberattack that compromised personal data of employees and students dating back several years. The attack exposed social insurance numbers, addresses, earnings, birth dates and more, affecting employees since 2015 and students since 2019. The university disclosed the breach two weeks after it was discovered. Canadian Mennonite University, home to 775 students and 40 faculty members, has offered a complimentary two-year credit monitoring service to those affected.",
