A city audit showed a backlog of up to 5 thunder street lights in need of repair, a job that should take 14 days to complete but was taking 77 days. The city says changing contractors, severe winter and supply chain issues were creating some major delays. >> Now we're down to 10 day response time, less than 500 outages where there was over 5,000 at one point.

As previously stated, we have no indication to date of any compromise of patient or customer databases. >>> Cyber security experts all agree, there was no easy way out of this for london drugs. >> This group is known to lie about things in the past. They've promised to delete information if the victim pays the ransom. Yet when the fbi and the national cybercrime centre in the U.K. busted some of the servers and things that they used to display the stolen data, they discovered even the data that was promised to be deleted had in fact been retained by the criminals. So there is no honour among thieves. >> Reporter: london drugs employees whose private information is now public could decide to pursue legal action against the company but -- >> You have to be able to show the damages you suffered as a result of the effect it's had on you personally but that effect must make objective sense.
