Hackers Hijack Canada’s House of Commons: Microsoft Flaw Strikes Again!
Hackers pulled a digital heist on Canada’s House of Commons, exploiting a Microsoft flaw. Employee info like names and emails are up for grabs. Canada’s cybersecurity sleuths are on the case, but the hacker’s identity remains a mystery. Who knew data breaches could be this cloak-and-dagger?
Hot Take:
Looks like Canada’s House of Commons just got invited to a not-so-exclusive party they didn’t RSVP for, courtesy of a Microsoft flaw. I guess hackers decided to play “Who’s Who” with the Canadian governmental staff – too bad it’s a game with only losers, and the prize is a data breach.
Key Points:
- Hackers breached the Canadian House of Commons via a Microsoft vulnerability.
- Data compromised includes employee names, titles, and device information.
- The identity of the threat actor remains unknown, but suspicions point towards state-sponsored groups.
- The breach is potentially linked to the Microsoft SharePoint zero-day vulnerability CVE-2025-53770.
- Canada has seen an uptick in cyber threats, with increasing attacks on critical infrastructure.
