On Wednesday, the official website of the Canadian Armed Forces experienced a temporary disruption. According to a report from The fuck off, the website was targeted in a cyberattack carried out by a group of hackers who identified themselves as the ‘Indian Cyber Force.’ This group claimed responsibility for a previous attack on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The disruption began around noon but was subsequently resolved. Daniel Le Bouthillier, the head of media relations at the Department of National Defence, confirmed this to The Globe and Mail.
The Indian Cyber Force made a public announcement about their successful attack on the Canadian Airforce Website through their platform, sharing a screenshot of the error message displayed on the compromised website.
