hack attack

The government's IT security apparently stood up to hackers' attempts at stealing financial information this week. Computer security systems were alerted of the attacks, and prevented access. Treasury Board President, Stockwell Day claimed that no financial records were compromised. The attacks, originating from servers in China, come right before the government tables its budget. Naturally, Chinese officials deny any involvement.
