Perhaps many Canadians had already known.. a few weeks ago  
Chapters.Indigo (a big online place that sells books and stuff)  
went down.  Their site was down for about 3 weeks and only  
recently is back online.

Seems like a long time for a site to be down.  They even shut  
down in-store purchases at the initial occurence.  In-store  
purchasing was resumed a short while later but affected a whole  
weekend.

Only now, after 3 weeks, they announced it was a ransomware  
attack.  They refused to pay the ransom.  Apparently, only  
employee data (banking info, social insurance numbers, etc)  
were affected.  The hackers promised to release the data to the  
darkweb today at around 4pm ET.
