Australia's nuclear science agency and other highly sensitive government and critical infrastructure organisations were targeted by a sophisticated foreign actor. The attacker secretly weaponised online advertising to track millions of devices and install malicious software. The breach has raised fresh concern in Australia about the vulnerability of critical national infrastructure to state-linked cyber operations.
Why now: News of a foreign cyber campaign targeting Australia's most sensitive agencies, including its nuclear science body, is alarming and timely.
