worrisome development from the government agency that should be safeguarding their data in the first place.
The data that CRA holds on every single Canadian is more than enough to help threat actors steal their identity or decide who might be worth robbing or blackmailing.
If threat actors identify particular vulnerabilities in the CRA website, they could also erase or modify taxpayers’ data, creating infinitely more terrifying scenarios.
Nation states, criminal organizations, and even political rivals would be very interested in obtaining the data that the CRA is entrusted with holding on behalf of the citizens of Canada.

Attempts to get the CRA to address its web security posture have been m
given that there argument for not being liable is leaning on the claim that they use advanced security to ensure hackers wont get there way. and you can proof its false.
cant you sue them for this?
