Original: Some government websites taken down in response to security risk: AI minister

Canada's minister responsible for artificial intelligence says some federal government websites have been taken offline in response to a security risk. Few details have been released about the nature of the threat or which sites were affected, and it is not yet clear whether any data was compromised. The disclosure has prompted questions about the state of government cybersecurity.

Why now: An unusual public admission that government websites were pulled offline over a security threat raises questions about how serious the incident was.
