Data stolen from a cyberattack on a large industrial company such as Stelco could be worth millions of dollars to hackers, according to an Oakville-based cybersecurity expert.
Data breaches could provide hackers with customer lists, employee lists, pricing data, supplier information and contract details that would be valuable for competitors, said Manoj Arora, CEO of Difenda, a cybersecurity company that deals with mining and manufacturing companies.
