Canadian Armed Forces Website Redirects to Chinese Page

Government (Foreign) // Canada

Anyone looking to sign up for Canada’s Armed Forces on Thursday instead found themselves looking at information about the Chinese government—in Mandarin.

The Canadian Armed Forces recruiting site redirected visitors to an apparent Chinese government URL Thursday afternoon until it was replaced with a 404 page, according to CBC News.

The report states a private-sector company hosted the recruiting website and no Department of National Defence servers were compromised.

Canadian officials have not said who may be behind the incident.
