Professor Ron Deibert talks to CBC Radio about Canada's spy program

October 10, 2013

The Communications Security Establishment Canaeda (CSEC) is alleged to have used it resources to spy on Brazil based on documents leaked by former NSA employee Robert Snowden. Recently the President of Brazil accused Canada of “cyberwar” after allegations that government hackers in Ottawa likely tried to steal state secrets from the South American country’s mining and energy ministry last year.

Professor Ron Deibert studies cyber espionage, is the director of the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies and the Citizen Lab at the Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs, and author of Black Code. He sits down with CBC reporter Matt Galloway to discuss Canada’s cyber security program and it’s image abroad.
