The RCMP said last Friday it had launched a criminal investigation, calling a breach of that magnitude alarming.
Speaking after an event on Tuesday, Duheme said personnel worked around the clock on the weekend to probe the breach — efforts that were continuing.
The RCMP said last week it would work with Shared Services Canada and the Communications Security Establishment, Canada’s cyberspy agency, to assess the scope of the breach.
