RICHMOND, B.C.

— The president of London Drugs doesn't know why the company was targeted in a cyber attack that forced it to close its stores for more than week, but Clint Mahlman says hackers with sophisticated methods are"constantly probing for weaknesses" of online systems.

"We won't reopen a system until we have the confidence that it is as good as we can possibly make it," he said.Mahlman said he has no knowledge if the breach might be connected to B.C. Premier David Eby's announcement late Wednesday that the province had detected"sophisticated cybersecurity incidents" involving government networks.

"They use that information to either sustain their attack or leverage in some sort of way against the company.""We apologize to the media and our customers that we couldn't have given more details that they want, but that's our commitment to the safety and security of our systems and our customers."
