The report also alleges that government officials -- particularly those perceived as being critical of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) -- were attacked. One of those attacks includes an email operation against members of Interparliamentary Alliance on China. The purpose of the cyber attacks is mainly to gain information that would lead to strategic, economic, and diplomatic advantages. The activity appears to have intensified following incidents of bilateral tension between Canada and the PRC, after which Beijing apparently wanted to gather timely intelligence on official reactions and unfolding developments, according to the report. Canada's private sector is also in the firing line, with the CSE suggesting 'PRC cyber threat actors have very likely stolen commercially sensitive data from Canadian firms and institutions.' Operations that collect information that could support the PRC's economic and military interests are priority targets. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
