Topping the news, a ransom ware group based in russia is claiming responsibility for the cyberattack on london drugs. >> Dallas: last month, london drugs shut down all of its stores across canada, including 8 in calgary, and meghan cobb joins us, and we know the group was looking for millions of dollars. >> That's right, dallas. London drugs says it's reviewing the attack. But because of the extent of the damage to its system, that review could take quite some time. Now a cyber security threat analyst who has seen the ransom demands on the dark web says notorious ransom ware operation lockbit is threatening to release data stolen from london drugs if the company doesn't pay $25 million by thursday. Brett callow says the drug store likely wasn't a unique target. Adding ransom ware attacks are low effort, and deployed against many companies that ransom ware believes they can play. >> And lockbit is the most prolific of ransom ware attacks since 2019. They launched successful attacks against thousands of organizations. They are known to have reaped more than 100 million-dollar in ransom demands. >> Reporter: in a statement, london drugs says it's unwilling and unable to pay the ransom which callow agrees is the right move. There is no indication that customer or patient database breached. Some employee info appears to be breached. London drugs says they will reach out to employees personally if there is reason to believe their information was compromised. Dallas, blake. >> Dallas: thanks, meghan.

The company is sending 6 units to nunavut to help ease the housing crunch in the far north, the company's ceo say they can easily be shipped anywhere in the world. >> These homes fold into something that is only 10 feet wide. We can drop them on the back of a truck. We can put them on a train. We can put them on a boat. In the case of nunavut, they aer going on a barge and ship no oversized loads, and the biggest problem with modular design today, the fact that they are oversized homes. >> Dallas: morgans says the homes are built to withstand the harsh winter conditions of northern canada. And range in size from 400 to 1200 square feet. >> Blake: this fall, post secondary students will live with older seniors. Doug vaessen has more. >> Reporter: this is a home for shannon penner, and try something new, and whatever you like it, and living right here. >> Maybe we'll be neighbours. >> Maybe. >> Come this fall, penner will live here as she finishes off her psychology degree. >> Yeah, I'm really excited.

It's bringing the different generations together over common interest, fun. >> In other countries, they've been doing this for many years. The netherlands, france. Even the U.S. has been doing this since 2010. >> The $25,000 grant from the federal government is helping this happen. It is hoped the idea can catch on across the country. Doug vaessen, global news. >> Dallas: very cool. >> I love that idea. >> Dallas: yeah, super cool. We've been trying to show you live looks outside. The problem is... Can't really see much. >> Blake: not much to see out there, tiffany. >> Tiffany: no. The rain continues. It is a wet and cool morning out there. Temperatures at 6°.
