That cybersecurity incident that occurred seven years ago in 2017, as you pointed out, did affect approximately 19,000 Canadians. Those Canadians were offered assistance with credit monitoring in order to keep an eye on any potential evidence of their identities being used. In the seven years since that incident occurred, Equifax has invested over one and a half billion U.S. dollars to rebuild our technology and security infrastructure.
Today, there's little, if any, of our old security program that remains. It's been completely overhauled. One of the things that, as an Equifax employee, I am most proud of, is that we believe that cybersecurity is not a trade secret. Our head of information security, a gentleman by the name of Jamil Farshchi, has been invited to be a strategic adviser to the FBI because of all of the positive work that has happened at Equifax. We are very open with our competition and other players in the industry, believing that if we can be stronger together as a unit, then we're serving everybody's purposes. We do not need to be hiding from each other how we're protecting people's data.
