Prince Albert police website breached by hacker

Prince Albert Police Service is working to restore their website after it was hacked.

On Wednesday morning papolice.ca displayed a message referencing the Islamic State instead of the police service’s website. In the background, a voice could be heard speaking in a foreign language.

“Hacked by Team System Dz,” the website read. “I Love Islamic state.”

Police Chief Troy Cooper said the department’s IT staff is aware of the website breach and are currently working to correct it.

Cooper said the breach will have no impact on the police department’s operations.

“This is merely a website contamination and has no connection to police operations or data,” Cooper said.

The police service said more information on the hack will be released later in the day Wednesday.
