True WhatThe, only concerned I have is that none of my own personal information was compromised.

You are quite right, most definitely a concern. Just couldn't resist the chance to call them hacks.

This actually happened a month ago. We are just learning about it now. The government was warned year after year they were "wide open" to attacks, but didn't listen.

CSIS knows exactly what the hackers were looking for and why, but wont tell the public. That in itself tells us alot.

Want to know what they hacked? Just watch Wikileaks the next year or two to see what the Canadian Government has been "funding" ;)
