Prime Minister Scott Morrison told the nation Friday that Australian organisations are currently suffering a sophisticated cyber attack from another country. The attack has been ongoing for several months, he said, targeting all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, and operators of other critical infrastructure. Morrison also urged a significant defence against cyber attacks, two months after a 2016 Department of Homeland Security strategy lapsed in April 2020, with a replacement strategy effort that began in September 2019 remaining incomplete. The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASCS) has published detailed about the attack methods, noting they rely on open source techniques.”]
