House of Commons hit by cyberattack from ‘threat actor’: internal email

The House of Commons and Canada’s cybersecurity agency are investigating a significant data breach caused by an unknown “threat actor” targeting employee information.

According to an internal email obtained by CBC News, the House of Commons alerted staff on Monday that there was an information breach. It said a malicious actor was able to exploit a recent Microsoft vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to a database containing information used to manage computers and mobile devices.

Oh sure BCF has been under a months long DDOS attack but all CBC cares about is Stupid Parliament.
