Sounds sabotaging ... like a drowning rat wanting to take down everything around it.
I wonder what our resident Victor Sunny has to say about all those links?

Actually no, attacks on private companies are to gather intel to gain commercial advantage.

The hacking of utilities and other critical systems are a different matter.

Have a read of this and I'll move you on to some other info.

The review concluded: "The probability of a significant social or economic disruption, [or] a regional operation requiring Australia to lead a multinational coalition or become engaged in a major power conflict is higher now than at any time in the last 60 years."

"We are sleepwalking and there is an unacceptable risk of a third world war in the next two decades,"

Great~~~~there goes my confidence!

All heresay .... or toothsayer?

the ABC news has been going on all day about a "cyber war" and how we arent "prepared"

Also does anyone really think the americans and perhaps the aussies arent doing it too?

An interesting person to follow on this is our very own David Kilcullen.

He's written a book about how China has been at war with us for ages, an unrestricted but asymmetric style of warefare.

He's moderately worried it could turn into a hot war but very concerned about China buying and controlling strategic assets in Australia.

"NSW Health Minister Brad Hazard said doctors have been able  to isolate the virus and study eight variants, to produce two full genome sequences, he said.  The results will be shared with the WHO which will aid efforts in developing a vaccine. "

Oz gave it away free , US keeps secrets for $$.  Uncle knows a profit when he sees one and Chi-na gets none of it.

Remember when Australia was busted 'spying' in one of their Chinese Embassies?

Well the Chinese retaliated and hacked a number of Australian Systems, like ASIO and a few other 'important' Organisations.

Australia had nothing to answer for it.
But the recent Hackathon gained interest for their recruitment drive.
