Thousands of Islanders get spam email after government email system hacked
CHARLOTTETOWN – More than 94,000 people in P.E.I. have received an unauthorized spam message from the P.E.I. government.
The government issued a statement Monday warning residents not to open an emailed newsletter titled: “Tonight’s Winner is Drawn in 10 Hours.”
The email includes a link, which should not be opened.
The province says its e-mail newsletter system was accessed without authorization on Sunday.
The e-mail system was taken offline when the hacking was discovered.
