Canada's foreign ministry hacked, services hit

[39.901]

Hackers launched a cyber attack on Canada's foreign ministry last week and some services are still down. The incident was detected last Wednesday, a day before Canada's signals intelligence agency said network operators of critical infrastructure should boost their defenses against Russian state-sponsored threats. Canada has taken a strong line against Russia's military build-up on the Ukrainian border. In 2011, officials said "a highly sophisticated Chinese state- sponsored actor" had broken into a leading research body. In 2014, a former Canadian cabinet minister said Chinese operators were suspected of hacking into the Treasury Board and the finance ministry in 2011.
