A cyberattack has caused Socadis, one of Quebec's biggest book wholesalers, to go offline.
The business is the target of a phishing attempt that might prevent it from operating until after the profitable holiday season.
It is consequently challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of this complete collapse.
This would have been a serious enough situation for the business to have severed all connections between its system and its partners' systems in order to stop the computer danger from spreading.
