   CSIS website goes down again   
      
    Another cyberattack has taken down the website for the Canadian Security   
   Intelligence Service, less than 24 hours after a suspected rogue hacker took   
   the site down in a so-called denial-of-service attack.   
      
   The main CSIS website and the CSIS Careers websites went offline shortly after   
   9 a.m. ET Tuesday.  The Conservative Party of Canada's website also went down   
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   briefly Tuesday morning but was restored.    (^â–½^)     
      
   Sources tell CTV’s Mercedes Stephenson that the same rogue hacker who took   
   down the CSIS website Monday night -- and who had previously launched attacks   
   on municipal and police websites -- is behind Tuesday's outages.   
      
    "This particular hacker has access to the email system at the Department of   
   Justice and has the ability – if this hacker chooses to do so – to start   
   sending internal emails," Stephenson told CTV News Channel from Ottawa Tuesday.   
      
   "Sources tell me the hacker has been in the system for some time and just been   
   dormant."   
      
   The denial-of-service the attacker has launched on the CSIS site is not   
   technically a hack, but the attack prevents Internet users from accessing the   
   site.  Such attacks can be hard to stop because they can come from dozens or   
   even hundreds of unique IP    
   addresses.   
      
   Stephenson said sources tell her the hacker isn't attempting to steal   
   information in these attacks. "This is all about trying to embarrass the   
   government, intelligence agencies and the police," she said.   
      
   A spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness,   
   Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, said no personal information has been compromised   
   in Tuesday's attack.   
      
   â€œThis is another reminder of the serious security challenges and threats   
   that we are facing.  This is why we need strong laws like the Anti-Terrorism   
   Act, 2015 to address   
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   security threats facing Canada," he said in a statement to CTV News.       
   {>_<}         
      
   Stephenson says the hacker is trying to draw attention to the controversial   
   Bill C-51, as well as the case of an Ottawa teen who was charged in an alleged   
   "swatting" incident.  The hacker believes the teen was framed.   
      
   The same hacker was previously connected to hacking group Anonymous, but   
   appeared to be operating alone on Monday, sources said.   
      
   The person believed to be responsible tweeted out several messages about the   
   CSIS website Monday, including: “I’m deciding if I should let CSIS back   
   online and hit another government website, or if I should keep it offline for   
   a while.â€�     ◕‿↠

   Less than two weeks ago, several government websites -- including   
   ServiceCanada.gc.ca and Parl.gc.ca -- were hit by a denial of service attack.   
   Anonymous claimed responsibility.
