I was impacted by this and was notified via internal message (on the Desjardins AccesD online banking portal).

Not in the article, but Desjardins has set up a webpage with information on the leak.[0]

They will send a letter to every clients whose informations were leaked, which will include the code for a free 12-month Equifax (credit report) monitoring.

Is 12 months ever enough monitoring?

According to them, there's permanent monitoring in place. This free paid plan is simply a bonus.

    We introduced additional monitoring and security measures to protect your personal and financial information.
    
    We notified the following authorities: the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec and the Autorité des marchés financiers.
