Canadian cyber-spy capabilities that go beyond hacking for intelligence

"But the latest top-secret documents released to CBC News and The Intercept illustrate the development of a large stockpile of Canadian cyber-spy capabilities that go beyond hacking for intelligence, including:

destroying infrastructure, which could include electricity, transportation or banking systems;

creating unrest by using false-flags — ie. making a target think another country conducted the operation;

disrupting online traffic by such techniques as deleting emails, freezing internet connections, blocking websites and redirecting wire money transfers." (thanks Amir)
