Hack Attack Breaches Australian Parliament Network

Hackers have breached the Australian Parliament’s network, although investigators say they have found no evidence that attackers stole any data. The presiding officers of Parliament, in Canberra, said all users have been ordered to reset their passwords as a precaution. The head of the Australian Cyber Security Center, Alastair MacGibbon, declined to speculate about the identity of the attacker. Prime Minister Scott Morrison reiterated that the attack appeared to be limited to targeting the network. In late 2017, the Scottish Parliament, known as Holyrood, alerted 129 Members of the Scottish parliament, as well as staff, that their email accounts were being targeted in unauthorized login attempts.”]
