strategy will assess risk to different government departments. Create a process for disclosing vulnerable. Joining us on how to combat the rise of cyberattacks is david shipley. Ceo of beauceron security. Canada is investing $11.1 million on this cyber security strategy. The U.S. DISCLOSEs investment of 13 billion. Is canada doing enough? >> Not even enough. Right now they are talking about throwing a cup of water on a house fire and maybe the fire will be out in ten years. >> Lindsey: in the past few months. We had the city of hamilton. The town of huntsville. And london drugs. And the B.C. first nations health authority. When we hear about these cyber attacks, when hackers are picking their targets, what are they after? Are they after money or people's identification or people's personal information? >> Lots of things we are seeing here is criminal backed activity. One of the biggest gangs operates out of russia. It brings in hundreds of millions of dollars. This is also a way of fuelling their war. This is part of conflict. It's crime, but it is part of the bigger story. And canada is losing. When you say about the five ontario hospitals who went for months. When you talk about the chemo patients who suffered because of that. This is having tremendous effects on every day canadians. The strategy you just MENTIONs is them protecting the castle. Us villagers are all getting raided by the cyber vikings these days. Attackers are money motivated. Sometimes it's just what they find on the internet. They are scanning every single second. Others hire affiliates. We actually had canadians working with some of these international gangs who are part of picking specific industries. One of them made $27 million doing those crimes. They get really good at this and they work verticals. When they hit one municipalities, they try others. Hamilton is the largest municipality to date that we know and that continues to escalate. >> Lindsey: when we hear about london drugs saying we are not going to pay. Then what? >> We now know that it wasn't bluffing. They released some very sensitive information about employees. Including some medical information about employees. Lock bit is now known entity of U.S. law enforcement. The leader has been identified and is under sanctions. Legally, london drugs probably can't even pay even if they wanted to. >> Lindsey: where are these people? Because they could be anywhere. How do you even find them and how do you put a case against them. >> Law enforcement in canada had some good wit. There was an it employee who is now facing several decades in U.S. prison as an affiliate. The gangs in russia, the best we can do is ruin their day. >> Lindsey: let's talk about ai. >> So the good news is, so far, defenders who have been investing billions of dollars over years have a slight edge. But the proliferation of cheap and powerful tools is eroding that. We are seeing powerful scam e-mails. Phishing e-mails are getting better and harder to spot. It is lowering the cost of cyber crime. More canadians are being victimized. Up to $600 million was lost by canadians to cyber fraud last year alone. The rcmp believes only one tenth was actually lost. >> Lindsey: is there hope out there for us? >> There is hope. Here is the problem. Our politicians, the federal leaders in canada don't care about this. Why don't they care about it? Because as canadians, we are not talking about it. Every day canadians can start demand better of our government. And the first thing our government can do is what the americans have done. Bring together the federal government, the provinces and the private sector for a ransomware summit and get a handle on this before more people suffer. >> Lindsey: thank you for being here, david shipley.

We're done on ctv >> Lindsey: the parent company of ticketmaster is being taken to court. Live nation is being sued by the U.S. justice department and a group of 30 states plus the district of columbia. What is the goal? To break up live nation. Apparently politicians accuse of anti-competitive conduct and control over the events industry. For a closer look at what this means for the company, we are joined by mohamed khimji professor of law at queen's university. What could this lawsuit mean for ticketmaster? >> What the department of justice wants is to undo a merger that occurred in 2010 between live nation, who specializes in music concert promotion and ticketmaster, which specializes in ticket services. It's now both of those service providers are controlled by the same company and the department of justice wants to separate them. >> Lindsey: I'm trying to think of, who is the competition? >> There isn't much. Live nation and ticketmaster dominate. Not only do they dominate promotions and ticket servicing, they also dominate venues. They control a lot of venues. >> Lindsey: I want to give a sample. That is the ticket to see taylor swift. We heard this conversation happening on-line. We have been covering it on news on our show. I want you to look at something. I want to put a board up. We got these numbers this morning. This is a resale ticket. She is playing in madrid at the end of the month. $404. Toronto, she is playing in the fall. That is what a resale ticket is going to cost you right now. You have to buy a hotel ticket and a plane ticket. It's 2 grand for a ticket in madrid. You are still paying $300 less to get a hotel, airfare and a ticket to go to madrid than one concert ticket in toronto. Fans are not happy. >> It's astonishing. Live nation put out a statement on its website yesterday explaining that its market dominance in north america isn't the reason for high ticket prices. It's blaming increased production costs. Costs have increased post pandemic. It's also aatribting -- the extent to which that accounts for the entire difference in price that you just mentioned, that remains to be seen. >> Lindsey: will we see any effect here in canada of this lawsuit? >> We will. It has some impact. If it goes through the legal system and the department of justice gets what it wants, then live nation and ticketmaster will be separated. Both the U.S. companies. They have canadian operations through canadian subsidiaries. >> Lindsey: we have been talking about the consumer experience. What about the artist side of it? How do artists feel about ticketmaster in general? >> We have had high-profile

disagreements. Like bruce springsteen for example. The problem is and was the department of justice alleges, one of the allegations is that let's say a musician wants to perform at a particular vn u. That venue is controlled by live nation. Live nation will pressure the musician to use its promotion services and use ticketmaster as the exclusive ticket provider. >> Lindsey: any response from ticketmaster? >> Live nation and ticketmaster -- we saw the statement on the website yesterday. They are denying the allegations and calling them baseless. The most interesting is its net profit margin which is only 1.4%. That figure on its own suggests that live nation is not overcharging anybody. That figure will be scrutinized. >> Lindsey: the finer details. It was great to have you here. Coming up... Kelsey shows us where we are going to see lots of rain today. Here is a bit of a sneak peek. We have your national forecast right after the break. [Parrot] Another overdue bill! Yeah.
