Canadian energy firm hit by cyber attack

[Locutus]

OTTAWA - A cyber attack on a major player in Canada's energy industry is "extremely serious," says a former Canadian diplomat who specializes in Chinese crime and espionage."Canadians just don't want to take this seriously," Brian Adams said. "In essence, it's an electronic war that's going on. And this company is bringing to our attention that China could shut down the energy resources of any country in the world with this sort of thing going on."

Telvent Canada confirmed the cyber attack in a statement sent to QMI Agency on Thursday, but wouldn't provide many details.

"Telvent is aware of a security breach of its corporate network that has affected some customer files," said a spokesman for Schneider Electric, Telvent Canada's parent company.

The devil is in the details but 'not unusual'.
