IBM Report: Canadians' Data Security Under Increased Threat, While Breach Costs Surge
AI Can Help Businesses Save Millions and Protect Consumer Data MARKHAM, ON, July 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- Data breaches in Canada are becoming more costly and complex, with organizations paying an average of CA$6.98 million per breach in 2025, according to the latest IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report. This represents a 10.4% increase from CA$6.32 million in 2024, reflecting the growing financial impact of security incidents. Among the report's findings is the rise of unsanctioned AI– known as Shadow AI – which amplify risks, escalate costs, and expose sensitive consumer data.

York Region physician accused of sexually assaulting patient on two separate occasions
Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville, is shown. Malouka Abdel Malak is facing charges in connection with two alleged sexual assaults. A physician who police say has been practicing for more than 30 years has been charged in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a patient. Police say the complainant attended a medical clinic on Markham Road in Markham on July 7 for an appointment. It is alleged that during the course of the appointment, the physician touched the complainant in a sexual manner. The individual left immediately and subsequently reported the matter to police. It is further alleged that while speaking with investigators, the complainant recalled another incident during a previous appointment at the same clinic in November 2023 in which the doctor's actions were 'similarly inappropriate,' police say. According to investigators, that incident was not reported at the time because the complainant believed the conduct may have been part of a medical procedure. Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault in connection with the separate incidents. Police say that investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. An image of the physician has been released and police are 'encouraging anyone with information to come forward.'
