Due to a data breach at a daycare, the Montreal library will close until Tuesday.
MONTREAL -- A large library in Montreal will be closed until Tuesday morning in the wake of a hacking attack on Quebec's public daycare registration website.
Quebec's Treasury Board Secretariat issued a recommendation on Friday evening urging all government bodies using software developed by the same company as the daycare registration site to immediately suspend access if they store sensitive information.
The Bibliotheque et Archives nationales du Quebec says it has temporarily shut down some of its computer systems -- following the treasury board's recommendation, adding its main library in Montreal and some of its online services have been closed as a result.
The Treasury Board declined to provide a list of online government services that have been closed as a result of the recommendation.
