A foreign government has launched a series of cyber attacks aimed at the Australian government and Aussie companies.

The Prime Minister said a 'sophisticated state-based' actor was behind ongoing attacks on political parties, universities and the private sector.

He did not say which government he suspected - but said there are 'not a large number' of countries who can carry out such large-scale attacks.

Last year Australian intelligence determined China was responsible for a cyber-attack on its national parliament and three largest political parties before the general election in May.

For a short time my virus protection showed attacks on my firewall and where they originated.

They came from all over the world but the big one was China.

If left to our FBI or Justice Department it sure would be.

The FBI would determine they are from Russia who’s trying to turn Australia into a resort for President Trump. Then start bugging everyone within six degrees of the President.

Initially many British convicts were sent to the American colonies, such as the Maryland, Virginia, and the Georgia, as cheap labour. The transportation of convicts from the United Kingdom began around 1615 and became increasingly common in the following years.
