ITACS 5211: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

Canada worries about infrastructure hacks: intelligence official

October 24, 2017 by Elizabeth V Calise Leave a Comment

This is a short article, but I found it pretty interesting. I haven’t read many articles involving cyber attacks in Canada. This article sums up why, which I find interesting that many attacks have not been leaked to the public. Very different here in the US since I think about all the articles I have read or stories on the news. The Canadian government is concerned about cyber-attacks that have targeted critical infrastructure. Due to this, it has helped organizations improve their security without revealing hacks to the public. Canada has seen a comparable level of hacking in the country as the US. The country does not report hacking activity to the public, but instead reaches out to the targeted organization in a quietly manner. The article mentioned that 60 nations currently can conduct offensive cyber warfare operations. Five years ago, only five nations had this ability.
