Anonymous hacking group hacked the several Canadian government websites and servers on Wednesday, in retaliation for a new anti-terrorism law passed by Canada’s politicians.
The sites which were affected by this cyber attack includes general website for government services, canada.ca, Canada’s spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
According to the cabinet minister, Tony Clement, who is responsible for the Treasury Board, the attack has affected the email and the internet access. He confirmed this on his Twitter account.
A video has been posted on YouTube by Anonymous citing that the anti-terrorism law violated human rights and targeted people who disagree with the government.
The new Bill C-51, or the Anti-terrorism Act, 2015, would give new powers to CSIS and federal agencies to increase surveillance and share information about individuals.
Talking to the reporters of the guardian, the public safety minister, Steven Blaney, denounced the cyber attacks, “there were many other democratic ways for Canadians to express their views, and the government was implementing efforts to improve its cyber security.”
