Cyber expert says its 'ironic' cybersecurity-based organization didn't take steps to protect domain name
A website that used to promote New Brunswick's cybersecurity sector has been repurposed by an anonymous new owner and is now promoting a number of online casinos.
CyberNB, a former economic development agency and branch of Opportunities New Brunswick, shut down last year, around the same time its government funding was phased out.
Its former internet domain, cybernb.ca, became available last summer from the registrar MyID.ca, when it wasn't renewed.
Now, the website has new ownership that is not listed publicly, but according to the updated site, it belongs to "a team of enthusiasts who specialize in cybersecurity in general and secure online casino gaming in particular."
