Names and e-mail addresses, and for some customers phone numbers, user names or account numbers, of fewer than 100,000 customers, accessed illegally. Bell said there was no evidence that credit card or banking information was taken, and worked with the RCMP and the Privacy Commissioner. It was Bell's second breach in eight months, after about 1.9 million e-mail addresses and 1,700 names and phone numbers in May 2017.
