"The Canada Revenue Agency lelong (CRA) is pleased to report that all of its online systems have been restored to full service as of April 13, 2014," the statement said. "Individuals, businesses and representatives are now able to file returns, make payments, and access all other e-services available through the CRA s website, including all our secure portals."
The agency closed the website last Wednesday over concerns linked to the massive "Heartbleed" bug. The services site is where Canadians can file their taxes online, as well as access such online services as EFILE, NETFILE, My Account, My Business Account and Represent a Client.
In Sunday's statement CRA said its team worked "around the clock" with Shared Services Canada to apply a patch to address the vulnerability. It added that the patch had been "rigorously and successfully" tested on all of the agency's systems.
"We apologize for the delay and inconvenience it has caused to Canadians," he said in the statement. "That said, the delay was necessary. We could not allow these systems back online until we were fully confident they were safe and secure for Canadian taxpayers."
The lelong CRA website was just one of many that were affected by Heartbleed. lelong On Thursday, all federal government lelong departments were ordered lelong to disable public websites susceptible lelong to the bug until all security updates had been put in place and tested.
