Privacy bill would give Canadians right to request companies delete AI deepfakes

The federal Liberal government has introduced a new piece of legislation it says will tighten privacy rules and regulations for companies handling Canadians’ data.

Bill C-36, dubbed the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, would give Canadians the right to request that their personal information is deleted, though there would be some exceptions that would allow a company to deny such a request.

“Our primary purpose here is to give control back to Canadians over their own personal information and to require by law — with enforcement — that companies treat the information very sensitively,” Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon told reporters Monday on Parliament Hill.

Government officials briefing reporters on the legislation said it would cover any company that has a “substantial connection” to Canada.

Inside OnyxC2: The New Stealer Targeting 210 Apps

OnyxC2 emerged in early 2026 as a malware-as-a-service stealer sold on cybercrime networks for $250 monthly. The platform includes a web panel, payload builder, and tiered pricing structure with refund guarantees. Written in C++ with assembly for direct syscalls, it targets approximately 210 applications across nine categories: 45 browsers, 109 extensions including 2FA tools, 5 password managers, 17 cryptocurrency wallets, 11 FTP clients, 5 email clients, and VPN/messaging applications. The stealer achieves 99% detection evasion through mutated builds and delivers via DLL sideloading using signed binaries. Higher tiers unlock remote access capabilities including HVNC, LSASS dumping, reverse SOCKS5 proxy, keylogging, and reverse shell. Distribution occurs through fake installers delivered as password-protected archives, with C2 communication over Cloudflare-fronted HTTPS to akmuniverstall.top.
