A spokeswoman for Premier Kathleen Wynne says the hacking involved a third-party domain routing service that directs traffic to the government’s site.
Zita Astravas issued an emailed statement that the government’s own websites were not affected.
She says no personal information or any government data was compromised and the websites remain secure.
By late Friday the hacking notice did not appear on the government’s main site.
