The federal government is warning Canadians not to reuse old passwords after thousands of accounts, including CRA logins, were targeted in a credential stuffing attack.
Hackers obtained and attempted to use the GCKey passwords and usernames of 9,041 people, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat said in a statement Saturday.
New computers are expensive but buying a used computer can have major risks. Besides getting ripped off, it could have malware and spyware installed. The good news is most people won’t steal your identity and just want to sell their old computer.
