OTTAWA – The Canada Revenue Agency had to suspend the accounts of more than 100,000 users of its online service because it detected troves of leaked login information on the dark web that could have led to data breaches.

If you received an unexpected and cryptic email on Feb. 16 from CRA warning you that your email had been deleted from the agency’s web platform, MyCRA, do not worry: your account has not been breached.

In fact, the agency says it means that their new early cyber security issue detection system is working (though the communication strategy will be reviewed and it “regrets the inconvenience.”)

But that also means your login data has probably been compromised through a third-party breach and you will need to contact CRA in order to regain access to your online account, particularly if you plan on filing your 2020 taxes online starting next week.

“To be clear, these accounts were not impacted by a cyber attack at the CRA. These accounts have not been compromised and the action taken to lock the accounts was a preventative measure,” agency spokesperson Christopher Doody said in an emailed statement.

如果你登不上，网页显示“error 021”，那你的账号有可能被CRA删除了。

我去年夏天登陆发现有Error 021的码，进不了账户，一开始还以为是covid的影响，或者cra的网站升级，就没管；直到9月还不能登录，才开始给cra打电话，等了1个小时总算等到agent，一解释说不归他们管，然后就转去anti-fraud department，又等了1个多小时，和那里的agent说了情况，然后核对身份信息，一共10分钟没有，说1周给解决。之后实际又等了1个多月，才接到cra打来的电话，告知已经unlock，政府这效率也是没法说了。

最近锁账号是不是与这个事情有关。
