Don't dismiss cyber threat as an imaginary problem or political stunt

Morrison sees this as a shift by President Xi Jinping that needs a firm response because it is not justified by any Australian provocation. "Australia has done nothing to injure that partnership, nothing at all," he said one week ago.

The latest discussion of this threat began in a meeting of the national security committee of federal cabinet at 5.30pm on Thursday, which prompted Morrison to contact state premiers to arrange briefings on the problem. Morrison delayed a flight to the Snowy Hydro project, where he was due to campaign for the Eden-Monaro byelection, in order to make a statement at 9am on Friday.

While the companies that sell tech security were quick to issue warnings in the wake of Morrison's statement on Friday, it would be wrong to dismiss this as an imaginary problem or a political stunt.The threat is likely to escalate and Australia will need to be better prepared. In a sense, this was a wake-up call for Morrison himself.

CroweDM Chinese lives (money) matter

CroweDM Just name the yellow bastards.

CroweDM Can you ask scomo to give us back the tax we have paid over our working careers? Considering tax is a scam because governments can just print unlimited money whilst going into debt that never has to be paid back!!!!!!!!

CroweDM It is not cyber threat. It is CCPChina threat that is hanging over Australia as the stranglehold is tightening every day and Prime Minister is so scared to even name the country. Afraid of repercussions?

CroweDM Bullcrap!Does Australia spy on anyone?

CroweDM Smoke and mirrors Scomo

CroweDM Hey where is that Chad dude with loads of banters?! Did he/she miss this tweet about China?

CroweDM Download the covid app- we are sorry to inform you that cyber attacks are 🔚🔙➖◼️⬛️🔲▪️◾️🗯

CroweDM Cyber threats have been going on since forever. Pretending they are new now is a political stunt and an obvious distraction.

CroweDM Is this really a current pressing problem for Australia ScottyFromMarketing? How about addressing unemployment Covid19 & racism to start with? Deviating from impt matters, not discussing issues just shows how unskilled as a leader u are! Bring back the debates!figjam auspol

CroweDM Wasn’t this the reason why the Centrelink site crashed at the start of COVID /s

CroweDM Look over here! Nothing up my sleeve 🙄

CroweDM Well if he already knows this why is he still dealing with them?

CroweDM Definitely a political stunt and an expensive one.

CroweDM It is not that 'we' dismiss the threat It is the lack of trust that 'we' have in a PM who can't be trusted Timing of presser following a shocking day economically and poor parliamentary behaviour by PM Convenient time to distract from other issues Morrison said it's not new

CroweDM Morrison pulled this dreadful stunt to deflect media attention from the Speaker if the House ordering him to withdraw a vicious statement re the opposition the day before.

CroweDM Failing China relationship under the LNP

CroweDM And will the Age please explain what it has to do with the every day mum or dad or person on the street? Are you saying China is going to hack my personal computer? Why is it important for me to know that China is pissed with scott for being Trumps lap dog & are attacking sites?

CroweDM Give it a rest PM. Every stroke of the computer keyboard is there forever for all to see now and in the future. We have to live with it Hackers will be part of the scene until we return to pencil and paper,unlikely.

CroweDM For Gods sake PM hacking has been with us since the electronic computing and records age. We used it in East Timour ,remember. Government by fear is your new method.

CroweDM Be nice to have some solid evidence but for now just another China suppression and bashing as a lapdog for US to get ready for more war and weapons selling

CroweDM Say what you like about him, Scott Morrison has stood up to China in the interests of Australia, which is what a leader is elected to do, not pander to the bullying tactics for the lust of a fast Chinese buck.

CroweDM Is this a distraction ? This has been happening for years !!!

CroweDM the last 6 months of reporting has been pathetic. I’m out.

vashtiwood CroweDM Enough of the pandering to this communist monster. No more excuses, no more touchy-feely crap. China was and is and always will be not a friend to Australia.

CroweDM Nek minnit “China found to be responsible for massive sports-rorting, forged documents about Sydney Lord Mayor and flying PM to Hawaii during bushfire crisis”!

CroweDM 🤣Morrison the mighty Imperial Dragon Slayer yeah pretty sure I know who will win this one...oh did you see the other news Morrison is ripping the guts out of unis And hypocrisy much Howard Gov bugging Timor Leste someone made💰🤫

CroweDM A person with whom I discuss issues said to me yesterday that he expected China to walk in and 'take' Australia in 30 years.

CroweDM There is a greater threat that Captain Scomo and his band of misfits lose taxpayers funds through simple incompetence. In 1999 the then liberal government couldn’t manage internal passwords with full access to reserve bank accounts.

CroweDM yep ...quick , quick look over there

CroweDM Thirdly, the most powerful hackers are NOT the state run groups they are groups like Anonymous. The statements put out about only state run groups being able to do something like this is laughable. Poor information ScottMorrisonMP stop trying to be like Trump

CroweDM Imaginary problem AND political hysteria 🤨🤨

CroweDM Also anyone who's ever worked in Govt knows how poor it's actual IT security is. Any real attack would easily have breached the safeguards, it happens all the time. ScottMorrisonMP is probably talking about successfully blocking penis enlargement emails.

CroweDM If it's real tell us what actually happened. ScottMorrisonMP says there was a massive attack but doesn't actually say what happened. He all but names China as the culprit but it's unwilling to say the words. The Aussie public have a great bullshit meter and thus one stinks

CroweDM this scott is a copy cat of donnie's blaming China game. protests 4 blm in capital cities have caused the 2nd wave of pandemic. doing nothing but saving himself from applying jobseeker. useless.

CroweDM Talk talk talk you are too scared to do anything

CroweDM Pfft.

CroweDM Real or Racism?

except he weaseled out of saying china

CroweDM 'Marble Framework' software allows the CIA to commit cyber hackings but make it appear it was done by Russians or Chinese.
