The Government of British Columbia is investigating multiple "cybersecurity incidents" that have impacted the Canadian province's government networks.

Premier David Eby said in a Wednesday statement that there is no evidence that the attackers had accessed or stolen sensitive information from the compromised networks.

However, an ongoing investigation is assessing the incidents' impact and looking into what data, if any, may have been accessed.

"Recently, the Government of B.C. has identified sophisticated cybersecurity incidents involving government networks," Eby said.

"The government is working closely with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) and other agencies to determine the extent of the incidents and implement additional measures to safeguard data and information systems."

The Government of B.C. has yet to disclose the number of cybersecurity incidents that impacted its networks and when they were detected.
