Jail Security Systems Hit by Cyber Attack
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A Lindsay, Ontario correctional center’s security systems suffered a major cyber breach on June 1, forcing a switch to backup operations while investigators from the Ontario Provincial Police dig into what happened. Though inmate data remains safe, the incident has disrupted daily functions — including court appearances, showers, and medical care — as affected servers are offline. Authorities haven’t confirmed if this was ransomware or another type of attack, and no timeline for full recovery has been given. The breach underscores just how vulnerable critical infrastructure is in the digital age, calling for urgent upgrades to cybersecurity defenses to protect sensitive systems and ensure essential services stay operational.
