Sabotage fears followed discovery of Russian spy Jeffrey Delisle in Canadian navy
OTTAWA—The discovery of a Russian spy in the ranks of Canada’s military sparked a cyber search to discover whether he had sabotaged government computers with a virus, the Star has learned.
And in the wake of the serious spy incident that cost Canada credibility with its allies, top officers concluded the Defence Department’s security program needed an overhaul.
The arrest of sub-lieutenant Jeffrey Delisle on espionage charges in January 2012 set off a scramble within the military to learn how much sensitive intelligence had been spilled and to plug other potential security leaks, according to documents obtained under Access to Information.
