Les Éleveurs de porcs du Québec was the target of a cybersecurity attack that might have led to the compromise of some of their systems' data by an unauthorised third party.
Every system, including those used by carriers, slaughterhouses, and breeders, is unavailable.
On the association's website, the most recent communication they received was on October 24, informing them of a significant computer malfunction.
The group claims to have alerted those who might be impacted by the disclosure of private information and launched an investigation into the event.
