NL Health Services apologizes for the Cybersecurity Awareness Exercise

NL Health Services has issued an apology for the recent cybersecurity awareness exercise that was sent to employees and physicians promising a free paid day off that turned out to be a phishing simulation.

"We acknowledge the approach taken in this particular exercise was not appropriate, and we sincerely apologize to employees, physicians and union representatives," said Ron Johnson, chief executive officer (interim), NL Health Services. "We value the feedback and are reviewing how future awareness exercises are developed and communicated. It is important they reflect employee and physician perspectives, as well as our organizational values to foster a respectful and supportive workplace culture.”
