Another Bullshit..
The portal "My Québec project" attacked by pirates
(Quebec) The Immigration Department acknowledges he was "surprised" by the massive traffic on its new portal "My project Québec" whose failures have forced Québec to delay the demands of thousands of potential immigrants. But the would-be immigrants are not the only ones to have stormed the site hackers have conducted more than 2,000 attacks in just over a month, reveals in an interview Deputy Minister Younes Mihoubi.
More than 2,000 computer attacks were blocked on the portal "My project Québec" reveals Mihoubi. It ensures that none of the information recorded on the site was compromised. The Department of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion (MIDI) had engaged the services of a firm to ensure the safety of the site.
The number "huge" attacks, by the admission of the Deputy Minister, is caused by the popularity of the site and the global geopolitical context that drives many people to flee their country. "There will be people who will do everything they can to be able to immigrate," says Mihoubi.
robots
Of the 150 million clicks since the gate of the service, 20% were made by robots. "There are people who have been a little smarter, tells Mihoubi. There are robots that make testing for them. They almost continuously trying to connect until there is a place that is free. "The engorgement of the site has encouraged many users to use this ploy. But when robots were detected, their IP address has been disabled by the Department.
Improved access ... a bit
Since January 5, the immigration applicants must complete their online application on the portal "My project Québec". Paper forms are not accepted. Now, as the site is unstable, MIDI was initially limited to 150 the number of users that can connect simultaneously. It has since improved system performance, said Mihoubi. About 500 users can access the site at once. But it remains inadequate: the Department estimates that 2.9 million Internet users tried to connect from the beginning of the year.
"Surprised" by affluence
The Ministry admits he had not expected such crowds on its website. The last time he had opened 3,500 seats under the skilled worker program, he received 8000 requests paper. This time, there are 2800 open positions. And nearly 42 000 people had created a folder on the portal "My Québec project" as of last Thursday. "We were a little surprised by the extent of demand," recognizes Mihoubi. According to him, the ease to fill an online application partly explains the phenomenon.
