Global Affairs Canada investigates a cyberattack.

Global Affairs Canada is currently investigating a cyberattack and data breach that forced the department to shut down its computer systems. This is the second time in two years that Canada's Foreign Ministry has experienced a cyberattack, which has led to unauthorized access to the personal data of users, including employees. The department has not yet identified the potential culprit behind the cyberattack but cybersecurity experts speculate that it could be a foreign country. The investigation is ongoing, and the department is working to restore full connectivity and contact those affected by the breach.
