   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.
