The country's armed forces are investigating the incident to clarify the circumstances of the attack.

On Wednesday, the Canadian Forces website became temporarily unavailable due to a cyberattack claimed by a hacker group from India. Daniel Le Boutelier, head of public relations at the Department of National Defense, said the problems started around noon but were resolved later that day.

As Le Boutelier noted in a conversation with The Globe and Mail, some desktop users continued to have access to the site, while most mobile devices remained disconnected.

The incident occurred on the platform, which, according to the representative of the department, is "separate and isolated" from the public sites of the Government of Canada and the Department of National Defense, as well as from internal networks.

The Canadian Armed Forces, including the Navy, special command groups, aviation and space operations, are currently investigating the incident.

According to the Globe and Mail, the hacker group Indian Cyber Force published screenshots of the broken page of the armed forces website on its pages on the X social network and in the Telegram channel and claimed responsibility for this attack.
