Quote:Though Australian officials have not blamed any country, in 2011 it was reported China was suspected of accessing the email system used by lawmakers and parliamentary staff.

Interesting. I would love to know what our countries have hacked. It doesn't hit our news necessarily, but it certainly makes me curious. This is what people have been caught doing - what haven't they been caught doing?

Very Interesting read.

Going by personal experience, Australia has pretty tight security, technological-based.

They seem to have tight security.
Both technological and physical.
My previous partner was Australian so i know quite a bit about their border security and immigration requirements. Let me tell you, Not easy to get into that place.

Agree.

It took me an entire week (dedicatedly), to exploit a major Australian cleaning company. I won't name It, but I must say It was very well secured.

I suppose they didn't realize the extent of the Intrusion, and what can/cannot be compromised until they got In.
