    They’ve been around since 1984 and they used to do much more than just online stuff.

    The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS, SCRS) is a foreign intelligence service and security agency of the federal government of Canada. It is responsible for gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world and conducting covert action within Canada and abroad. The CSIS has no law enforcement function and mainly focuses on intelligence gathering overseas.

    I’ve had family work there, but obviously they never talked about it much so maybe I just misunderstood what they were doing exactly.
