IQALUIT, Nunavut — Major government departments in Nunavut remain partly impacted after a weekend cyber attack.
The attack has frozen electronic data for all services requiring access to electronic information, including health, family services, education, justice and finance.
The territorial government says in a release that the ransomware attack happened Saturday night.
It says personal information doesn’t appear to have been leaked, but government employees can’t access data they need to provide services.
