Thank you. I appreciate receiving that number.
This is according to an October article by CBC News:
At the height of this year's tax season, [CRA] discovered that hackers had obtained confidential data used by...H&R Block Canada.
[The hackers] used the company's confidential credentials to get unauthorized access into hundreds of Canadians' personal CRA accounts, change direct deposit information, submit false returns and pocket [millions of dollars] in bogus refunds
the crisis prompted the CRA to contact the office of the Revenue Minister
the public was never alerted to the scheme.
Why was the public not alerted about this breach, and what is being done to improve transparency and prevent future cyber-attacks like this?
