A Canadian government network was successfully hacked and compromised by alleged Iran-based hackers as part of Tehran’s response to various western cyber attacks, VICE News has learned.
The Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), which is under the umbrella of the Ministry of Labor, had its network compromised along with accounts and password information leading up to April 2013. The attacks — which were part of a wider cyber offensive dubbed ‘Operation Cleaver‘ — have gone unreported until now. This is the first time Canadian authorities have publicly acknowledged the government network was, in fact, hacked as a result of alleged Iranian-born operations.
