This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a statement to The Globe and Mail, Daniel Le Bouthillier, head of media relations at the Department of National Defence, said the “disruption” started at about noon, “but was rectified later that afternoon.” Some desktop users could still access the website, while most mobile devices could not.

The incident occurred on a site that is “separate and isolated” from the Government of Canada and the Department of National Defence’s public websites and internal networks, Mr.

In posts made on the messaging app Telegram, and X, the social-media platform formerly known as Twitter, the Indian Cyber Force shared screenshots of the Canadian military website being taken down.

Last week, Canada’s intelligence agency, the Communications Security Establishment, warned information and technology administrators in this country to be vigilant of an increase in cyberattacks.

Prior to that warning, the Indian Cyber Force had threatened Canada on Sept. 20, stating on social media to “get ready to feel the power” of its attacks on Canadian cyberspace in the coming days.

Diplomatic relations between India and Canada have been strained after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an investigation into allegations that Indian government agents had a role in the killing of a Canadian citizen and prominent Sikh leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in British Columbia.

Have you noticed that pro-Indian posters and hackers on the net use the same lingo and modus operandi of pro-Russian counterparts. Really makes you think.
