The federal government is coping with cyberattacks this week, as a hacker group in India claims it has sowed chaos in Ottawa, but Canada’s signals-intelligence agency says the ‘nuisance’ attacks likely haven’t put private information at risk.
“Hacker group” may give off the idea that something was broken into lol
The Canadian Armed Forces says its website became unavailable to mobile users midday Wednesday, but was fixed within a few hours.
Defence Minister Bill Blair confirmed the incident was a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which is when bots swarm a website with multiple visits and cause it to stop loading properly.
So India ordered the assassination of a Canadian official, Trudeau condemned the extra-judicial killing, and India responded by burning Canadian flags and launching cyber attacks against the Canadian military websites? Is that about right? Why is India picking fights with Canada?
I’m absolutely sure this hacker group definitely 100% wasn’t funded by the Modi government whatsoever mhmm uh huh for sure
