A friend of mine who lives in Melbourne said its pure chaos in Australian gov't servers getting disk nuked right now.

China is trashing them so bad that it's going to be cheaper for Australia to buy new disks than try to fix the old ones. Wonder what kind of malware China used.

China is simply showing to the world who is the boss.

Australia is currently being hit with a massive cyber attack by a “sophisticated, state-based cyber actor”, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says.

“This activity is targeting Australian organisations across a range of sectors, including all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure,” Mr Morrison told reporters Canberra.

“We know it is a sophisticated, state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used. Regrettably, this activity is not new. Frequency has been increasing.”

Mr Morrison says the Australian Cyber Security Centre has been “actively working with targeted organisations to ensure that they have appropriate technical mitigations in place and their defences are appropriately raised”.

Asked which nation was suspected to be behind the attack, Mr Morrison said the “threshold for public attribution on a technical level is extremely high” and that Australia “doesn't engage lightly in public attributions”.

“When and if we choose to do so is always done in the context of what we believe to be in our strategic national interests,” he said.

“What I can confirm is there are not a large number of state-based actors that can engage in this type of activity and it is clear, based on the advice that we have received, that this has been done by a state-based actor, with very significant capabilities.

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese says the government has invited Labor to take part in a security briefing.

They tried to corner China recently and now paying the price. Next time they will think twice before trying to act smart against China.

Could be false flag? By humilated India to push Australia to indite China or its USA, UK all are evil anyway to put blame on China.

Lol.. China will be stupid to cyber attack Australia now. Very likely a false flag to frame China.

Maybe. But I think China has changed too. It's no longer avoiding fights, instead it will start fights like it did with India.

Maybe China scratching both India and Australia itch, two American regional pet puppies?

Modi and Morrison should have another round of vedio conference, if the video link is not hacked. :D

Do you really think that Indian call center coolies are capable of such attacks.

Daddy is busy in his own mess.
