VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — ICBC says rebate cheques that were delayed because of a cyberattack are now being sent out.

The investigation into the cyberattack which affected a third-party vendor is ongoing.

“The safety and security of customers’ information remains our top priority. There remains no indication that any information was obtained by unauthorized parties. The event did not impact ICBC’s systems, which are secure,” a release reads.

Cheques were supposed to be mailed out on March 15.
