| Description | Toronto police are investigating an alleged attempt by a Progressive Conservative to hack into the Ontario Liberal party's website.
Interim Tory Leader Bob Runciman said a PC staffer, who was initially suspended, has resigned after the alleged tampering was traced to two computers located in the Conservative offices in the north wing of the Legislature.
"I'm absolutely not happy with this," Runciman, a former solicitor general, said last night.
"We're co-operating fully with the police on this. There's no reason to keep this behind the curtain," he said, declining to name the former staffer as criminal charges could be laid.
The Liberals first learned their website, www.ontarioliberal.ca, had been compromised on Feb. 19.
A subsequent check found that computers located at Queen's Park were apparently used to do the hacking and, following an internal probe by the Legislative Assembly, police were called in. |
