Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Peter Jennings says the cyberattack on Australia is a "political shot across the bows as much as it is an intelligence gathering effort" conducted by the Communist Party of China. When asked by Sky News host Chris Smith if he believed the cyberattack on Australia was "the work of China," Mr Jennings replied "absolutely".
The prime minister said the government had evidence the cyberattack was launched by a sophisticated state-based actor. While the Prime Minister would not confirm who was behind the attack, he said a state with “very significant capabilities” was responsible. Mr Jennings said "there's a couple of countries that have the capacity to do this". "Russia and North Korea come to mind, but they don't really have the scale and they don't really have the motive.
Hmm as if China cares about Australia. It really is grandiose to think Australia is that important. The non reply of the trade commission is proof of that. The Chinese can't even be bothered to kowtow to US demands...
Absolutely true
CCP can only be defeated by its own bad karma
Look at the ribotic little puppets
Get over yourself - you are crazy 😜 - the Chinese don’t give a flying fuck about Australia - ‘they are just not into you ‘ Australia - sorry 😝🤪😖
finally, we got reasons to buy US weapon.
I'm old enough to remember when Russia were the manufactured bad guy. They were accused of hacking an election, those were the days...
evidence？
We do not care Australia, we can forget it, where is Australia? But we CAN let you never forget CHINA.
A lot of shots across the bow, they’re going to run out of ammo.
Meanwhile Israel 🇮🇱 get rich & our media are still too scared to mention them even though they are the 2nd highest in cyber technology in the world after USA (who they stole from) . We were meant to be next to steal from ( AusLoyalWingman ) but Linda Reynolds put a stop to it !
China is picking fights with all the major economies of the world. Not wise China. You can't win this fight...
Mwengway72 China has taking a large percentage of Sydney Australia which comes with a price in terms of revenue dependency. Not too surprised
SUSPECTED? NOTHING SOURCES? NONE EVIDENCE? NONE. CHINA IS RIGHT TO DENY SUCH =
If I made that comment in a political science tutorial in a humanities course people would think I was stating the goddamn obvious
How about that CovidSafe App ey? Did that data remain 'safe'?
Feels like a placed story to stir unrest amongst the plebs. Lame. This zero days stuff has being going on for at least a decade.

'Unavoidable' finger-pointing at China over cyberattack | Sky News AustraliaUS Studies Centre Research Fellow Brendan Noone says the cyberattack on Australia – revealed by the Prime Minister today – has occurred at such a time as to direct all blame toward China. \n\nScott Morrison announced that all levels of the Australian government and private sector were targeted in the mass-scale cyberattack by a state-based actor with “very significant capabilities”. \n\nMr Noone told Sky News there were only a few actors in the international community with the capabilities to carry out such a broad attack. \n\n“We all know this is coming at a time when Australia is being coerced to use some of the government’s own language by China across economic levels,” he said. \n\n“You have to place it, I guess, in its context and it can’t be helped that this is seen possibly as part of a widespread campaign conducted against Australia, along with a bunch of other levers that China may be pulling as well.' \n\nImage: AP Of course it was them starting with C ending with A CIA Openly accusing or just playing words?

PM refuses to reveal 'state-based actor' behind cyberattack on Aus | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed Australia was targeted by a cyberattack on Friday but stopped short of revealing who was responsible. \n\nThe Prime Minister said the government had evidence the cyberattack was launched by a “sophisticated state-based actor”, but when probed on Friday morning, refused to reveal more. \n\n“The Australian government is not making any public attribution about these matters, though we are very confident these are the actions of a state-based actor… and there aren’t too many state-based actors who have those capabilities,” he said. \n\nThe Prime Minister described the attack – which was targeted at all levels of the Australian government and Australia’s private sector – as “malicious”. \n\n“Obviously those who are engaged in this are not doing this to help us, that’s certainly not their intention,” he said. \n\n“And so, you could describe it as malicious, and that’s why our awareness levels need to be raised.” ScottMorrisonMP Bullshit and obfuscation. ScottMorrisonMP Yes it is such a complete mystery. ScottMorrisonMP I wonder who it was 🤔

MP Anthony Byrne 'boasts' he used the media to 'destroy political enemies' | Sky News AustraliaSky News Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham says the release of “salacious” texts from Labor’s Anthony Byrne in The Australian “proves the old adage true that if you want a friend in politics it is best to get a dog”.\n\nAccording to the Australian, a second round of “explosive texts from the federal Labor MP who is deputy head of parliament’s intelligence committee, with access to national secrets, reveal he boasted about using the media to 'destroy' enemies and exact political retribution'. \n\n“It’ll be the best read story in the country tomorrow,” Mr Cunningham told Sky News host Peter Gleeson.\n\nSpeaking “almost” in Mr Byrne’s defence, Mr Cunningham said “I’m not sure anyone would survive if their mobile phone was handed over and someone was able to basically go through and reveal all of the disparaging text messages they might have sent about their colleagues over a four or five year period”. \n\n“Anthony Byrne was probably on the money when he talks about the Labor moderates and how they were being infected by the Green Left and people like Jamila Rizvi”. \n\nImage: Getty Well the CorruptCoalition have DUTTON Any chance of finding out what text messages Tax Payers paid for by Barnaby Joyce, $650, 000 worth of text messages
