OTTAWA – Canada’s cyber spy agency is warning that in 2019—an election year—foreign countries are “very likely” to try to sway Canadians’ public opinion with misinformation online.
“In the coming year, we anticipate state-sponsored cyber threat actors will attempt to advance their national strategic objectives by targeting Canadians’ opinions through malicious online influence activity,” says Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in a newly released report on the current cyber threat environment Canada is facing.
