Epiq Class Action Services Canada, the company appointed to administer the government’s $900 million class-action settlement for survivors and victims of military sexual misconduct, said the number of claimants whose personal information was inadvertently leaked has grown to 109, CBC News reports. Epiq initially said data of fewer than 100 of the 20,000 class members was disclosed but confirmed additional breaches after a third veteran in recent months reported receiving an email with personal details of another claimant.
