Rogers Communications Inc. says it started restoring mobile and internet service late Friday after a widespread network outage.
The outage, which lasted more than 15 hours, affected mobile and internet users, preventing calls to 911 services in some Canadian cities, knocking out ATMs and shutting down the Interac payments system.
Late Saturday afternoon, Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri said that service had been restored and that the company’s “networks and systems are close to fully operational.”Article content Richard Leblanc, a professor of professor of Governance, Law and Ethics at York University, said the outage was a learning opportunity for threat actors, like Russian state-sponsored hackers, who can now see how vulnerable Canadian industry, financial institutions and health-care systems are to an attack on a telecom provider.
While Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne has described the outage as “unacceptable,” Leblanc said that kind of talk needs to be followed up with action.Article content
