I was unable to log in since morning. Kept getting your session expired message or not valid message all through. I then read the message in the log in page and saw there was some cyberattack.
Didn't get any email from IRCC though but just tried logging in now and it went through.
What's the email all about? I hope this won't in anyway affect us or would it?
It should be the same as said in their login page, not sure though.
