Reserve Bank of Australia Hacked by Chinese malware

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) was hacked by hackers who infiltrated its networks and allegedly stole information using a Chinese piece of malware. Several RBA staffers including heads of department were sent the malicious emails over two days. The malware consisted of a web address that linked to a zip file that contained a Trojan which at the time was not detected by the anti-virus program. It isn’t known if the malware executed and succeeded in capturing information from the compromised computers. Defence department said: “The government does not discuss specific cyber incidents, activities or capabilities”
