An employee at Coast Capital Savings inadvertently emailed a list of the insurance claims of 464 clients to about 75 Metro Vancouver media outlets.

The email attachment included names, postal codes and the amounts of property insurance claims, but no social insurance numbers, addresses or account numbers.

A letter would be sent out to all the affected clients, said Philippe Sarfati, Coast Capital's chief risk officer.
