Foreign government behind major cyber attacks on Australian gov and biz, PM says

The problem I have with these Australian government reports is they are always very light on detail.

"We know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used."

This is not helped by the fact the same government has record of being loose with the truth when it comes web related issues.

Government Services Minister Stuart Robert has walked away from earlier claims that the Australian government's myGov website was hit with a cyber attack on Monday morning

Another example was the governments claim a DDOS attack caused of their 2016 Census website to fail:

They are the government equivalent of the boy who cried wolf.
