Cyberattack crashes Fisheries and Oceans, other Canadian government websites, e-mail

June 17, 2015 Canada

A cyberattack crashed federal government websites and e-mail on Wednesday afternoon, Treasury Board President Tony Clement said. He said it was a denial-of-service attack on the gc.ca domain server, which rendered many federal government websites inaccessible and left many government e-mail accounts unusable. “There’s been a cyberattack on the gc servers of the government of Canada,” the minister told The Globe and Mail.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
