Bell Canada alerts customers after data breach

Bell Canada is alerting customers after hackers illegally accessed the information of fewer than 100,000 customers, the telecom giant told.

The breach comes just eight months after 1.9 million customer emails were stolen from Bell's database by an anonymous hacker. Bell is Canada's largest telecom company, with over 22 million customers. The information obtained in the latest breach included details such as names, email addresses, account user names and numbers, as well as phone numbers. Bell said there was no indication that credit card, banking or other information was accessed.

Canadian new rules should cut malware

All you wanted to do was download a game from the Internet, and the next thing you knew, your browser homepage had changed, an unwanted toolbar appeared, and you found yourself plagued by annoying pop-up ads that danced around your screen.

Such experiences should be less of a problem for Canadians thanks to new rules from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission which came into effect last week. The new guidelines make it illegal to install programs on an individual’s computing device without the operator’s consent. The rules are designed to protect Canadians from damaging and deceptive forms of spam.

Canada’s intelligence service asked foreign agencies to spy on Canadians

Canada’s intelligence agency deliberately kept the country’s Federal Court “in the dark” to bypass the law in order to outsource its spying on Canadian citizens abroad to foreign security agencies, a federal judge said.

Federal Court Judge, Richard Mosley, has slammed the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) for knowingly misleading him on numerous occasions.

Since 2009, Mosley has issued a large number of warrants to the CSIS, authorizing interception of electronic communications of unidentified Canadians abroad, who were investigated as threats to domestic security.
