Government of Canada

Several Canadian government websites and servers were targeted in a cyberattack by the hacking group Anonymous.

The attack affected several websites for government services, including canada.ca, as well as the site of Canada’s spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

The attack was aimed to show their retaliation for a new anti-terrorism law passed by Canada’s politicians.
