FBI and Canadian cybersecurity agency warns: Chinese hackers attacking telecom services in Canada
Representative Image Canada's cybersecurity agency , the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, has issued a warning that Chinese-backed hackers are likely responsible for a recent attack that compromised telecommunications infrastructure in the country. The agency confirmed that three network devices registered to a Canadian company were compromised in these attacks. In a joint bulletin (as seen by Bloomberg) released this week with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security urged Canadian organisations to strengthen their networks against the threat posed by Salt Typhoon , a hacking group with documented links to the Chinese government. The warning emphasises the ongoing risk and the need for immediate action to protect critical infrastructure. What Canada's cybersecurity agency said about the recent hacking incident 'The Cyber Centre is aware of malicious cyber activities currently targeting Canadian telecommunications companies. The responsible actors are almost certainly PRC state-sponsored actors, specifically Salt Typhoon,' the agency said, referring to the People's Republic of China, reports Bloomberg. The agency also noted that separate investigations showing overlaps with indicators linked to Salt Typhoon indicate the cyber campaign 'is broader than just the telecommunications sector.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo According to the agency, the hackers will 'almost certainly' continue attempting to infiltrate Canadian organisations — particularly telecom providers — over the next two years, the report adds. Beijing has consistently rejected US claims linking it to Salt Typhoon, a group first reported by The Wall Street Journal last year. In January, the US imposed sanctions on a Chinese company for allegedly being 'directly involved' in the cyber intrusions , along with China's Ministry of State Security. 6 Awesome New Features Coming in Android 16!

Luxury cars, mansions & multi-million deals: Meet the richest men in hockey
Image Via Getty Images (Ice Kings of 2025: Inside the lavish lives of the richest NHL players) In 2025, hockey ceased to be a rink-and-score world. It now encompasses contracts, investments, and branding with goals and assistance. The Hockey League thus has flourished into a global stage, where its brightest stars are also some of the sharpest financial minds in sports. Let's now pore through the opulent lives and huge fortunes of the top five richest NHL players who turned the ice game into a golden business. Mario Lemieux: net worth , salary, assets, and investments — MarioLemieuxFdn (@MarioLemieuxFdn) Mario Lemieux – Net Worth: $300 Million Mario Lemieux is not just a hockey player; he is a business genius. In 1999, when the Pittsburgh Penguins owed him $32 million in deferred salary, Lemieux pulled off his greatest deal ever: he forgave the Penguins of the responsibility of the debt in exchange for 25% ownership. When the Penguins were sold in 2021 for $900 million, Lemieux cashed out between an estimated $200–300 million. Overall, Lemieux earned in excess of $50 million during his NHL playing career. He has a $22 million mansion in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, with 50 rooms and a private lake. His luxury car collection is said to include a Bentley Continental GT and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Lemieux is also on the board of directors for a Canadian sports technology company, with endorsement deals through Nike and Gatorade. He also has a vast real estate portfolio. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

The Great One retains an ownership stake in the Vegas Golden Knights and maintains real estate vested interests in the millions in both California and Canada. He makes millions of endorsement dollars through Rolex, Adidas, and Tim Hortons. In 2025, Gretzky released the whiskey brand "99 Reserve," which has become the best-selling whiskey in North America. He lives in a $17 million estate in California and has a Mercedes S-Class and a Range Rover in his garage. Through media deals, brand ventures, and his timeless legacy, his net worth remains steady. Alexander Ovechkin: earnings, records, and luxury lifestyle Image Via Twitter(Alexander Ovechkin – Net Worth: $80 Million) Alexander Ovechkin – Net Worth: $80 Million Alexander Ovechkin stands among the highest-paid active NHL players, earning $9.5 million annually under a five-year contract. He also makes approximately $5 million annually from endorsements from such names as Nike, CCM, and Hublot. In 2025, he launched a collection for FE while securing a partnership with Venture Global Energy. Ovechkin pays for a handful of lavish homes in Virginia and Moscow, while also dumping some income into their fitness startups and real estate. Among his car collection are a Lamborghini Aventador and a Mercedes G-Wagon. (With 895 career goals, he surpassed Gretzky's record, making the mark on both the hockey and money sides of history!) Chris Chelios: retirement fortune and entrepreneurial success Chris Chelios – Net Worth: $80 Million Chris Chelios may be retired, but he retired financially well-off. Accumulating more than $50 million in earnings during his career turned him into a businessman with Cheli's Chili Bar and a career in television as an analyst with ESPN. He owns properties in Michigan and Malibu, and his garage is packed with a classic Corvette and a Porsche 911. The revitalization of his brand value came in 2025 through his induction into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Chelios earns endorsement deals with Coca-Cola and Warrior Hockey. Sidney Crosby: career wealth and plans Sidney Crosby – Net Worth: $75 Million Sidney Crosby finished with a 12-year contract from salary negotiations worth $104.4 million in 2025. He is currently with the Penguins as an advisory officer. Long-standing contracts with Adidas, Tim Hortons, and CCM have opened millions for Crosby. His investments stretch to Canadian real estate and a minority interest in a sports tech startup. He lives in a beautiful lakefront home in Nova Scotia and drives around in a Tesla Model X and an Audi Q7. These well-thought-out decisions have enabled him to generate long-lasting wealth on top of career earnings.
