"Canada Blames Border Checkpoint Outages on Cyberattack"

Several Canadian airports reportedly experienced service disruptions due to a cyberattack allegedly perpetrated by a pro-Russia hacking group. According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), recent connectivity issues that impacted airport check-in kiosks and electronic gates were caused by a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack. The Montreal Airport Authority reported that a computer outage at check-in kiosks caused delays in processing arrivals at border checkpoints across the country, including Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, for more than an hour. Recently, the Russian hacking group NoName057(16) claimed responsibility for cyberattacks against several Canadian organizations, including CBSA, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, as well as government and financial institutions. However, CBSA has not directly linked NoName057(16) to the attack. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack that resulted in widespread service disruptions at several Canadian airports.
