As cyber waves rise, Ontario's public institutions are increasingly at risk

Experts say cyber attacks on Ontario's public institutions are on the rise and could pose serious risks to individuals. These attacks can lead to the leakage of personal information, disruption of government services and even damage to critical infrastructure, these experts say.
In recent months, several Ontario government agencies have come under cyber attack. In one such attack, the personal information of over one million Ontario citizens was leaked.

Experts say that these attacks can be due to various factors, including the increase in the complexity of cyber attacks, the increase in the value of personal information and the lack of resources to defend government institutions.

They say people should take steps to protect themselves from cyber attacks. These measures include using strong passwords, keeping software up-to-date and being aware of the latest cyber threats.
