The unauthorized access into Canadians' CRA accounts allowed hackers to file false returns using legitimate postal codes, showcasing systematic vulnerabilities in the tax preparation process.
Andre Lareau, a tax professor, highlighted the serious security issues: 'Obviously the door is open and some people are infiltrating the system, but the CRA does not seem to have found the key to lock the door.'
Despite the serious breach, the Canadian public was left uninformed, as Revenue Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau declined to address inquiries regarding the incident.
H&R Block stated it concluded that none of its own data or security systems were compromised, insisting that the breach did not originate from its end.
