Hackers compromised data from Canada’s House of Commons in a cyberattack exploiting a recent Microsoft vulnerability, according to a report from CBC News.

Staff were alerted to the data breach on Monday, as CBC News reported based on an internal email that explained the threat actor had accessed a database “containing information used to manage computers and mobile devices.”

It is not clear what the affected database was, or if it gave them access to sensitive information or House of Commons devices.
