A bit of a necropost, but it look like the best place for this story.

• CSE engaged in cyberattacks on fentanyl brokers
• engaged in increased cyber defence and intelligence in the Arctic against Russia and China.
• like the CAF, the government turned on the money fire hose on them.

Interesting read.

Canada’s electronic spy agency conducted cyberattacks on fentanyl brokers, report says

CSE also says it stepped up defence in Arctic, citing growing interest from Russia and China
