Australia faces a persistent threat from state-backed hackers, the country's signals intelligence agency said Wednesday, highlighting the particular danger of Russian and Chinese cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
State-backed hackers would probably continue targeting water supplies and electricity grids, the directorate said, and would likely ramp up efforts to steal military secrets from Australia and its allies.
State-backed hackers are also creating 'bespoke tools' to infiltrate government networks, the report warned, pointing to the Russian 'Snake' malware network dismantled by the United States this year.
