The Toronto Public Library is warning that many of its online services are offline after suffering a cyberattack over the weekend, on Saturday, October 28.
TPL is Canada's largest public library system, giving people access to 12 million books through 100 branch libraries across Toronto.
The announcement clarifies that library branches remain open and operate according to the published schedule, so people may continue to borrow and return books as usual.
"TPL has proactively prepared for cybersecurity issues and promptly initiated measures to mitigate potential impacts," reads the announcement.
In June 2023, Petro-Canada gas station locations nationwide were impacted by a cyberattack that prevented customers from paying with credit cards and deactivated the rewards system.
