0:01
closure of public libraries across the
0:03
city the impact felt by those who want
0:05
to check out books and a quiet place to
0:07
study but ultimately it poses a risk to
0:10
people's private data a wrench to some
0:12
people's Thanksgiving weekend plans
0:14
every Public Library across the city is
0:17
closed due to a cyber security breach
0:19
here at the Saddle toown library in the
0:21
Genesis Center zamu is looking for a
0:23
place to study for her Humanities course

0:32
troubles across the deer foot at the
0:34
Country Hills Library by Justina gr she
0:37
learned about the breach on Friday I was
0:39
disappointed but I knew I would just
0:41
hang around and help the other students
0:43
with tutor sessions the Calgary Public
0:45
Library says all branches will be closed
0:47
until further notice with all servers
0:49
and library computer access turned off
0:52
it says data security is a key priority
0:54
for the library and our security team is
0:56
working diligently to determine the
0:58
scope of the breach one computer
1:00
security expert says libraries are
1:02
targeted due to the information they
1:04
have when you get your library card
1:06
they're going to collect some
1:07
information they want your name they
1:09
might want your address your email
1:11
address if you paid some fines maybe at
1:13
some point they had your credit card
1:15
information last November the Toronto
1:17
Public Library was a victim of a cyber
1:19
security breach that kept its website
1:21
offline for months now in addition to
1:23
personal data the bad guys can also get
1:25
valuable information from the books
1:27
you're borrowing let's say I knew what
1:29
what you what books you took out from
1:31
the library last month and they were all
1:33
about traveling to Hawaii so all of a
1:36
sudden I decide I want to scam you with
1:38
a cheap bogus trip to Hawaii another
1:41
example of a cyber break was the April
1:43
28th ransomware attack that forced
1:45
London Drugs to close 79 stores across
1:47
western Canada all of those stores
1:49
reopened May 7th the actors released
1:51
some data when the company refused to
1:53
pay a ransom this threat in Calgary is

matched with some poor timing wordfest

success has been shifted to the djd
