Canadian agricultural and grain farming company faces cybersecurity attack

In September 2020, a Canadian agricultural and grain farming company was the target of a “man-in-the-middle” attack that involved the hacking of an email account that allowed the threat actor to send a fraudulent request to change bank account payment information for one of our client's suppliers in India.

McCarthy Tétrault advised the cyberattack victim with a team led by Charles Morgan that included Diana Theophilopoulos, Charles-Antoine Souliere, Alexis Hudon, and Ellen Chen.
