"The situation is evolving quickly but at this time, there is no impact on RCMP operations and no known threat to the safety and security of Canadians," said an RCMP spokesperson in a media statement.
"While a breach of this magnitude is alarming, the quick work and mitigation strategies put in place demonstrate the significant steps the RCMP has taken to detect and prevent these types of threats."
BleepingComputer further observed that the RCMP website is down as of this morning and throwing an HTTP 404 error message.
Php are typically associated with fresh website installations, typically those using CMS products like WordPress and Drupal-the latter appearing to be in use by the RCMP, based on our preliminary assessment.
BleepingComputer was still able to access some pages of RCMP's separate domain, rcmp.
BleepingComputer has approached the RCMP media office to better understand whether this issue is related to the ongoing cyber incident.
