Canada’s spy agency says 2020 saw the highest level of foreign espionage and foreign interference directed at Canadian targets since the end of the Cold War.
“The fluid and rapidly evolving environment caused by COVID-19 has created a situation ripe for exploitation by threat actors seeking to advance their own interests,” said Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault in his agency’s 2020 report, released today.
“In 2020, CSIS observed espionage and foreign interference activity at levels not seen since the Cold War.”
