The top official at the Auditor General's Department told a Joint Select Committee of the Parliament on Wednesday that the Department has a special group of auditors, qualified to determine if an I-T system it is inspecting was hacked.

And while no specific mention was made of the TSTT data breach, the Prime Minister commented on the cyber-attack. He said TSTT is expected "to treat this matter as a national security threat."
