OTTAWA (Reuters) -- Canadian police are investigating whether U.S. and Israeli spies used rigged computer software to hack into Canada's top secret intelligence files, the Toronto Star newspaper said on Friday.
The paper said the probe revolved around Promis, a software programme first developed to assist prosecutors in the United States Department of Justice which was the centre of a U.S. scandal a decade ago.
The Star said police were probing whether the software -- used by the Mounties and Canada's spy service to co-ordinate secret investigations -- had been rigged with a so-called "trap door" allowing unauthorised access to sensitive data.
