TORONTO — The Canadian government says Chinese hackers have infiltrated the computer systems of the country’s top research and development organization.
Canada’s Treasury Board said Tuesday a “highly sophisticated Chinese state-sponsored actor” hacked into the National Research Council, which partners its scientists, engineers and business experts with private industry to bring new technologies to market.
Adam Hodge, a spokesman for Canadian foreign minister John Baird, said Baird discussed the matter with his counterpart while in Beijing on Tuesday and had a “full and rank exchange of views on the matter.” Baird is in Asia on a trade mission.
