Hi John, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says a sophisticated state actor was behind the breach of the Parliament network that was announced on 8 February, but stopped short of naming any country as being responsible.
The Australian Signals Directorate says it has, at present, no comment to make on reports that the UK's National Cyber Security Centre has found that any risks posed by equipment supplied by Chinese firm Huawei for 5G rollouts can be mitigated. ASX-listed Beam Communications says it has received a new order for 5000 of its portable voice and data satellite devices, known as Iridium GO! units, from mobile satellite services firm Iridium Communications. The president of the Australian Computer Society, Yohan Ramasundara, has said the Federal Government needs to take cyber security more seriously, claiming that it was seen as a "boutique issue" that was very often out-sourced or delegated to "a couple of techies in a backroom". The chief executive and founder of technology innovator Lakeba Group, Giuseppe Porcelli, has been appointed as the chief strategy officer of mobile technology provider Mobecom from 1 February.
