Foreign Hackers Attack Canadian Government
An anonymous reader writes " According to the CBC: 'An unprecedented cyberattack on the Canadian government from China has given foreign hackers access to highly classified federal information, and forced at least two key departments off the internet, CBC News has learned. The attack, first detected in early January, left Canadian counter-espionage agents scrambling to determine how much sensitive government information may have been stolen and by whom.' It should be noted that the Auditor-General warned of this months ago and was ignored by everyone as she usually is. It should also be noted that public sentiment towards China is getting very, very testy."
Well, it's a language barrier thing. Canadian for "fuck off" is "would you please consider leaving at your convenience?" :)
As a Canadian, this comment offends me. Sorry about that.
