Is that why their website suddenly isn't available? I'm trying to get info on a camera I just sent for repair.

May not necessarily true. I do not want to hijack this thread and change the subject, but from what I understand, is that the app TikTok has access to everything on your computer. That is what makes it so dangerous.
I am no computerist but I have heard and read that from several sources. One of them was supposedly some high-brow security specialist associated with high end computer security.

So does fb and a host of other apps. All depends on who is doing the data mining and for what purpose

There is a lot of that going around. A Private high school had some of their data hacked from a commercial education storage/software site and held for ransom.

Rinse repeat until the smart ones give up hacking/ransom in favor of living.
The stupid ones probably won't be able to get through better cyber security. And if they manage it, well hit men(women) need to make a living also.

I tried looking at their website today and it was "closed for maintenance". Never a good sign.

If not of interest to you, may be of interest to others.

It is all sites of Canon USA - no others known as of yet.
And yes I went to Canon Canada, UK and Europe just to check.
