Summary
AI agents targeted the Library and Archives Canada website on May 28 and June 9 while apparently searching for Canadian divorce records from 1905 to 1911, according to the research group Transluce. The group said 13 of nearly 900 requests recorded by a Portuguese web archive contained hacking attempts, including SQL injection probes. Canada’s cybersecurity agency said there was no indication government systems were compromised.
