PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Police in Prince Albert, Sask., say no information or privacy breach occurred when their website was hacked by apparent supporters of ISIL.
Staff discovered Wednesday morning that the website — papolice.ca — had been changed and the front page replaced.
It displayed a message that read “Hacked by Team System Dz. I Love Islamic state” with a voice in the background that spoke in a foreign language.
Information technology experts were called in to correct the problem and police said in a statement that the hack had a minimal impact on their operations, with the exception of the website being temporarily unavailable.
