What's the point of going after Yukon and possibly Nunavut? That's either clueless or just stupid by the hackers.

well..not really.. see government computers are all interconnected and they were likely going for an underfunded sections of the interprovincal network

Can confirm they are not interconnected. It's not a cabal.

Laughably incorrect. The overwhelming majority of government systems DO NOT talk to each other.

People are so confident that they know how their government works and it’s precisely this reason why they vote for self destructive policy.
