China and Korea.https://lfpress.com/news/london/2011/01/24/17007946.html Asian hackers rock curling websites in hi-tech attack The London Free Press 24 January 2011 The problem was found to be missing databases of painstakingly documented curling information dating back two years from primary and secondary backup systems. For many weeks, the four websites and any content supported by CurlingZone's software were unable to be accessed. The proprietors of the websites were forced to request the help of data recovery services to recover the lost data, which includes information on thousands of curling events both major, like the Olympics season, and minor. As a result of these presumed cyber attacks, the websites were switched to a new server and reloaded with whatever information was available at the time.http://www.thecurlingnews.com/blog/cyber-attack-on-curling/ Cyber Attack on Curling The Curling News 17 January 2011 Capital One, the sponsor of the Grand Slam of Curling, the World Curling Championships, and various teams and bonspiels, stated a few days after the incident that they would match donations to CurlingZone to help the recovery effort and encouraged other curling-related businesses to donate money.http://www.thecurlingnews.com/blog/curling-cyber-attack-update-capital-one-and-your-help/ Curling Cyber Attack update: Capital One and your help The Curling News 21 January 2011 However, people involved with CurlingZone and The Curling News expressed concern that much of the data is irrecoverable and may have disappeared forever. As of March, the websites are up and running, but the content from last year and many years preceding it are still missing. In another event, the websites of U.S. and world curling governing bodies were attacked by sites in China and Korea. The attacks may be related to the attacks on the four major curling websites.

Events include the Canadian Mixed, Men's & Women's Juniors, the Scotties, the Brier, Men's & Women's Seniors and the national Wheelchair championship. The inaugural title will go to both Alberta and Saskatchewan. Both MAs finished with the highest number of points, in a tie. The tie breaking procedure is the best record between the two MAs in round robin games, but the two MAs split their season series 4-4. Alberta did not win any national titles; it was runner up in three events, and finished in the top six in all events. Saskatchewan, on the other hand, won both junior events and the Scotties. Manitoba finished third, having also won three events (the Brier, the men's seniors, the national wheelchairs). The Governors Cup was also awarded, to the Member Association who has seen the most improvement. It was given to New Brunswick. Points are awarded based on placement in each of the events, with the top association receiving 14 points, then the second place team with 13, etc. Final standings Rank Member Association CMCC Canadian Mixed Curling Championship CWJCC Canadian Women's Junior Curling Championship CMJCC Canadian Men's Junior Curling Championship Scotties Brier CWSCC Canadian Women's Senior Curling Championship CMSCC Canadian Men's Senior Curling Championships CWhCC Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship Total Pts.
