The federal government is coping with cyberattacks this week, as a hacker group in India claims it has sowed chaos in Ottawa, but Canada's signals-intelligence agency says the 'nuisance' attacks likely haven't put private information at risk.

"Hacker group" may give off the idea that something was broken into lol

Funny thing is that these India controlled botnets probably have clients inside Canada, so a lot of this traffic will be from inside the country.

So India ordered the assassination of a Canadian official, Trudeau condemned the extra-judicial killing, and India responded by burning Canadian flags and launching cyber attacks against the Canadian military websites? Is that about right? Why is India picking fights with Canada?

Typical big fish/small pond actions.

Because of the conflicts many nations have with China rn. India is the next largest "democracy" in the region.
