Was the Rogers failure a cyber attack?

from NOW and NEXT · host Dave Trafford

Millions of Canadians felt the full effect of a nation-wide system failure at Rogers. The outages affected cell, wireless, television, and internet services, in some cases, for days. That, inturn, closed some businesses and services or slowed them to a crawl. After the initial outrage was voiced loudly across the country, the narrative turned to calls for more telcom competition and questioned the wisdom of a Rogers-Shaw merger. But the real issue that needs to be addressed is the state of our cyber security. Whether or not the Rogers crash was caused by a cyber attack is one thing but it was most definitely a cybersecurity failure. This week on The Daily Brief we will highlight one of our new Story Studio Network series: 1 CLICK 2 CYBER CHAOS.
