CRA account locked

[anandg12]

Did anyone get their CRA account locked recently? It was in the news recently - https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/cra-accounts-locked-1.5916607 . Wondering what's the best course of action to remedy this issue? I tried calling them on Friday but was put on hold for 3 hours and then received an automated message that queue is full and got hung up on. Canada's government services amaze me sometimes

1. Mine was fine, but a newspaper/tv report is that over 100K accounts were hacked. https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/cra-accounts-locked-1.5916607
