Anyone else heard about this? Man it's just one fucking thing after another this year!!!
Just an update. Read that the CRA said that ppl should use 2 factor authentication if it is available, It appears it is not available on the CRA site. hmmmmmm
Haha ... you don't think that the CRA didn't keep the reported number of accounts hacked down for political reasons... come on, And you think that them saying it was credential stuffing from so called other sources was the main hack ... I don't believe a thing that comes out of the mouths of government as they always have alternative agendas and give a little of the truth and a lot of lies.It's affected very very few accounts and most seem to be from zero factor web users who use samelogin/samepassword everywhere. We're not talking about the twenty million other people who are doing their CRA business safely and without zero chances of being hacked. To me, this "hack" is making my eyes roll.
If you're doing your CRA business online and banking online(I have a hard time believing you wouldn't do both if you do one) and not using your bank as a 3rd party authenticator to secure your CRA with a gigantic set of credentials you don't even know, you're a lunatic because your bank to CRA authentication is about as secure as it will ever get. That and if it gets hacked (outside of you being an idiot and using samelogin/samepassword everywhere), the bank has a legal obligation to be on the hook if they are somehow mid-stream hacked.
No offence but call me when significant numbers show up on a real hack that isn't in part because of an idiot user or something that is patched within hours because of a bit of faulty code that got vetted too soon.

any breach of security is not acceptable. to say its only note worthy when its " significant numbers " is wrong in my opinion.
We all have our area's of expertise. You have come out and said what yours is. I am not in a position to reveal what mine is however let me just say odds are I know a tad more about internet security and even past hacks of the government then most of the members here, yourself included.
What is reported is always massaged to make it look better. The truth only comes out when a whistle blower speaks up and even then what that person says is heavily discredited.

And I do use bank to CRA authentication, and in you implication, I am not an lunatic in this regard ... I have worked in the systems development and coding line work for numerous years and have worked in security and audit as well. And I have got numerous refunds on my banks visa for purchases that were made in the US that did not follow the pattern of any purchases I had made in the past, I am well aware of banks and their associates being on the line for security breaches outside my control.
Your making a big assumption when your saying that patches get installed within hours and get vetted to soon by government ... I have worked for government they are one of the most methodical and pain stakingly thorough and slow group of testers and implementers that I have ever worked with as they are afraid of an implementation going wrong and getting blamed. Its more likely they installed the code wrong through the migration process through to production rather than the fact that the vetted wasn't good enough. Most code installations go wrong because of incorrect installation instructions or production control regressing the code by installing an earlier version of the code from the wrong staging areas.
And don't worry, I won't be calling you anytime soon. I have made it very well on my own thank you.
I will not be responding any further to these type of comments as saying things like someone is a 'you're a lunatic' or 'you being an idiot' on this board is not why I am here. There is professional ways of writing up comments and there is unprofessional. It appears in your mind that most ppl are idiots or lunatics, no most people are human ... cheers PG
U must be mocking Trudeau and Tam...lolWe're all going to get threw this together.
We now have a Finance Minister ( Christina Alexandra Freeland ) who's educational background is Bachelor of Arts degree in Russian history and literature from Harvard University and a Master of Studies degree in Slavonic Studies from St Antony's College, Oxford, and her career before politics was in Journalism.. Tell me how that qualities you for the Minister of Finance. In the private enterprise to become a VP Finance of a Company you need several years experience in Finance at at high level in a major company and normally a CPA designation or an MBA. There should be minimum educational requirement and experience to be put in the countries senior Finance position. My comment that 'Trudeau is an idiot ' I repeat again.
Damn ... never thought of that ...lol.Yes but does she look good in a skirt?
Yes but does she look good in a skirt?
That is just sick and wrong.
