The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warned on October 29, 2025 that hacktivists have repeatedly breached critical infrastructure systems in the country.
“One incident affected a water facility, tampering with water pressure values and resulting in degraded service for its community.

A third one involved a grain drying silo on a Canadian farm, where temperature and humidity levels were manipulated, resulting in potentially unsafe conditions if not caught on time.” says the alert posted by the Canadian Centre for Cyber.
They advised organizations to maintain an up-to-date inventory of internet-accessible Industrial Control Systems (ICS) devices, replace direct exposure with VPNs with two-factor authentication, and apply the Cyber Centre’s Readiness Goals to strengthen cyber defense.
