City of Saint John hit by ‘significant’ cyber attack

CBC reports that one of my favorite Canadian locales has been hit by a cyberattack.

There’s been a “significant” cyber attack against the City of Saint John, according to a news release from the municipality on Sunday evening.

The city’s 911 communication system is working, but other services such as online payments systems, email and customer service applications are all down. So is the city’s website.

Officials with the city say they don’t yet know whether any personal information stored on the networks has been compromised.
