The Montreal North borough said on Thursday that its Access Montreal and permit offices were offline after it detected “an intrusion into its computer system.”
The borough filed a complaint with the Montreal police (SPVM).
“A specialized firm has been hired to conduct an investigation to identify the sources of the intrusion,” the borough said in a news release. “With the support of this firm and the city, the specialized resources of the borough are mobilized with a view to returning all operations to normal as soon as possible.”
The borough added that it will not make any further statements before receiving results from the investigation.
