Canada Warns Hacktivists Tampered With Critical Systems

⚠️ The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warns that hacktivists recently breached multiple internet-exposed industrial control systems across Canada. Attackers modified settings at a water treatment facility, an oil and gas site (manipulating an Automated Tank Gauge), and a farm grain dryer, causing disruptions, false alarms, and potentially unsafe conditions. Authorities describe the intrusions as opportunistic attempts to attract media attention and erode public trust rather than highly sophisticated campaigns. The bulletin urges organizations to inventory exposed ICS assets, remove direct internet access, use VPNs with two‑factor authentication, keep firmware updated, and report suspicious activity.
