07.07.2004Based on information obtained by the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, it appears that, in 2003, hackers attempted to gain access to Canadian Department of Defense (DoD) computer systems by circulating e-mail messages containing malicious code. Few details are known about the incident, code-named Snow Leopard by the Canadian military, other than that the attacker(s) attempted to use "social engineering" to gain access to military networks. The attack led military officials to warn the Privy Council Office about the attempts to plant malicious code on Defense computers, and the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness also issued a security advisory to other departments about the problem. According to Canadian DoD records, hackers broke into military computers on at least ten occasions in 2003; also in 2003, "the military's computer response team dealt with 160 incidents ranging from poor cyber security to unauthorized entry into high-level systems".
