VPN Mentor engaged Kaizen to amplify their findings having uncovered a major data breach at Canada’s largest mobile network provider. We got to work securing strong, relevant coverage across Canadian and international news outlets and tech publications.
The Brief
vpnMentor work with a network of white hat hackers, seeking out vulnerabilities in major services and companies and letting them know so that they can solve the problem before someone with the wrong intentions finds the vulnerability.
When they uncovered a major data breach within Canada’s biggest mobile network provider, exposing the personal data, credit card numbers, and CVVs of a potential 1.5 million customers, vpnMentor came to us to help break the news.
Once the company was altered to resolve the problem, our team were presented the challenge of outreaching vpnMentor’s findings to major Canadian and international press.
