Perhaps many Canadians had already known.. a few weeks ago
Chapters.Indigo (a big online place that sells books and stuff)
went down. Their site was down for about 3 weeks and only
recently is back online.
Seems like a long time for a site to be down. They even shut
down in-store purchases at the initial occurence. In-store
purchasing was resumed a short while later but affected a whole
weekend.
Only now, after 3 weeks, they announced it was a ransomware
attack. They refused to pay the ransom. Apparently, only
employee data (banking info, social insurance numbers, etc)
were affected. The hackers promised to release the data to the
darkweb today at around 4pm ET.
