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.

Without doubt, any First strike will be preempted by a massive cyber attack. Its ok though, China said they wouldnt strike first. However, Russia has remained silent.

I'm feeling deja vu all over again. I doubt many here are old enough to remember Japan's "Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere." It was Japan's economic cover for imperialism in China and throughout the East. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in the belief it would prevent American interference in their evil plan. The diadem on the Asian necklace was Australia with its vast natural resources.
Today I substitute China for Japan. The imperialistic rationale is nearly identical. Again Australia, with its small population and comparatively weak military, glints like a diamond to the Communist warmongers in Beijing.

Funny, I lived in the islands in the 1950s, and never heard of it.

I just loaded a VPN app that allows you to use servers all over the world to make it look like your traffic is originating from/going to other places.
