Australia sounds warning over state-backed Chinese hackers

Yet we are to turn our heads the other way, smile and shake the hands of those actively trying to infiltrate and harm our systems. We are not to worry about it, nor mention it to them directly, because we may ' risk angering' these Chinese 'friends'. We are being played like violins, broken ones.

tate-backed Chinese hackers, saying they were "actively" looking for targets to compromise.

Russia-based hackers in 2022 breached one of Australia's largest private health insurers

Russia and China, aided whichever other nations they have control over, continue to do nearly whatever they want, including bombing children's hospitals. They must think they have control over enough anti-democracy western politicians, media, and corporations, which are willing to appease them, that they can get away with pretty much anything, and so far it looks like they are right. The notion of individual nations having sovereignty was nice while it lasted, China and Russia, the newest global power bloc will do what they can to continue weakening nations, see Tibet and Ukraine, among other examples. I despise the word 'globalist' because it was used by the Nazis, and is used by far rightists today, but China and Russia have huge global control over resources, manufacturing and trade. And huge control over the lives of individuals within their domains.

Check the “Made in” label on your Network equipment. Replace if “Made in China”.

All the IoT devices made in China that we use are phoning home to China constantly. If any aggression starts, you can be certain that every network with 1 of those devices will become unusable, if only to cause havoc. Likely they will do worse.

So, consider how much that $20 IoT camera will really cost or that $80 home router. At the low end, China electronics is plagued by "good enough" completion. It works, if you use it exactly as intended for the most common uses, but try to do something most people don't, even if it is listed as a feature and it won't. Plus, consider the buggy software caused by incompetence. Those bugs make Chinese software easier to hack, which is good for China and other "black hat" types to get into our networks.

Be certain not to confuse China and Taiwan. Some of the Taiwanese companies have the best device security. After all, they are constantly attacked by China. Look for companies making equipment that are required to have a security program run with 3rd party oversight. There are a few of those after their terrible firmware got the attention of certain govts. If they wanted to keep access to US markets, they had no choice but to do what was demanded.

The Australians must be the most propagandized and scared people on earth, more than their bosses in America.

This article is about the fearmongering against mainland China (in order to start a war), and the photo shows a Taiwanese keyboard!!!!!

Pukey2, your name suits the sophistication of your message. Laughable.

You become low ganging fruit, easy targets when you go out of your way to tell your adversaries they can do what ever they want to you with impunity. Australia under Wong, Albanese cares more about China lobby than its borders.
