CRA shuts down its website as fears over Heartbleed Bug mount. With just weeks to go before the tax deadline, the Canada Revenue Agency has shut down its online filing services over a security concern dubbed the “Heartbleed Bug.” The Heartbleed Bug is actually a newly recognized vulnerability in OpenSSL, a common software many sites use to help protect password data. It has the capability to affect systems worldwide and the CRA shutdown was a preventative measure, the agency said on its website Wednesday afternoon. The CRA’s vulnerability is expected to be fixed by the weekend. However the security vulnerability goes well beyond just the CRA, and it’s a good idea to change all passwords on important sites now. Also, keep an eye on your financial statements for the next couple days, just in case.

Coroner closes the Lac-Megantic file.

Those still classified as missing are: Jacques Giroux, 65, Denise Dubois, 57, Marie-France Boulet, 62, Richard Veilleux, 63, Louisette Poirier, 76, Willfried Ratsch, 77 and Bianka Charest Bégnoche, 9.

Teen injures 20 in stabbing spree at high school near Pittsburgh. A 16-year-old student armed with two kitchen knives ran from classroom to classroom at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pa., stabbing 19 students and one security guard before he could be subdued by the principal and a police officer. The name of the teen, who began his rampage shortly after classes started in the morning, has not been released.

In an unrelated incident, a man entered the Toronto office building where he used to work and stabbed four people Wednesday morning. The man, 45, was arrested at the scene. Two of his victims were described as being in “very serious condition.”

Linden, who retired from the NHL as a player just six years ago, has a tough task ahead of him as he rebuilds a team that failed to qualify for the playoffs this year. “I believe I’m ready for this challenge,” said Linden, 42, at a press conference. While, by the end, Gillis wasn’t popular with fans, the Linden move has Canucks fans cheering.
