If I’m reading this article sent to me by someone on Mastodon, this breached was caused by someone hacking the VPN.
The name of the VPN was mot mentioned, and the government has shut down systems as a precaution.
Users and employees may be affected, no number was given.
“We continue to take several steps to protect employee’s personal information and safeguard our corporate networks following the discovery that Virtual Private Network (VPN) managed by Shared Services Canada (SSC) was compromised and used to access Global Affairs Canada (GAC) HQ VPN-related network traffic,” the internal message read.
For full details, please read the article provided. Its title is Global Affairs Canada systems compromised in data breach and stay tuned to messages sent to you to make sure that you stay safe.
