And sending them messages by sea and by air campaigns by North Koreans if it does in the south of angered pyongyang causing tensions on the peninsula to spike me one defector who says no not at the risk he wont be start. A great welcome a malicious cyber attack by a sophisticated stay. Astride the as Prime Minister has held a briefing to warn the country of specific risks as a broad ongoing attack gathers pace Scott Morrison says all levels of government Critical Infrastructure and essential services of being targeted is stopped short of naming any saucepan. On just about a strenuous public broadcast of the ib saying is reporting that federal agencies believe china is to blame is some of what Scott Morrison had to say a little bit earlier. We know he does a sophisticated slight rise to some of the actor because of the sky oh and night of the targeting and the tri craft used there are not a large number of state by state actors the can engage in this type of activity and it is created by strongly advise that we have received the has been done by i stood by step with very very significant type abilities lets cross now to melbourne and speak with just tyler hes a technology and politics reporter with god you must drive good to see you just bring us up just fade what do we know about these Cyber Attacks through and what has been targeted exactly its in their range of. Businesses agencies state federal its basically i mean wide range hospitals places like theres no real sort of. The just attacking as many things as they can and i think its important to note is that it the problem is has said that it wasnt any particular sort of thats the new attack it was just. A range of ongoing attacks and the going of a lot a whole the whole release that they were being exploited by these attackers were ordered out every year ago by the sort of serious and sorry it is not anything you are the the interesting thing is that the government has come out so forcefully. To talk about it and when it started i think the interesting part was so you said these attacks are ongoing obviously not referring to one particular instance so why did the government come out today of all days to talk about it i think its a couple of things i think the. This is an ongoing issue we businesses and government targets particularly not keeping us stated we make sure that theyre on top of this our screens are not just on the release not reaching the cheaper authentication not making sure that this isnt the secure and that makes them vulnerable to attacks like these which are very you know embarrassingly isnt to exploit if youre not keeping us safe is i think the government is a little bit frustrated that i guess the public is not taking it more seriously are promising to be like the coronavirus warnings where almost 0 to wash their hands of is basically the government saying it is this do you do like you dont like the other thing is that although theyre not explicitly in their insurance im a bit of a warning d shot to china to say you know what you doing it and you know we which are the be prepared to speak out on this in the future so you mentioned china there and that you know we know federal agencies believe china could be behind this why would china be topping the list of suspicions in australia well theres really only very few countries i think its basically just china or russia and very desperate of potential targeting us or the capabilities d to do large scale attacks i mean obviously the United States would but theres nare already for d the United States that makes more sense for it to be one of those 3 and i think there are signs point to a big shot a very slim possible parsifal up and become unhinged thing we not mean i think thats a more of a diplomatic thing that are really what you all are i imagine that china is going to interpret it is uncertain shall we say theres.
