China behind major cyber attack on Australian governments and businesses

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australian organisations, including governments and businesses, were currently being targeted by a sophisticated foreign "state-based" hacker.
While Mr Morrison said the Government would not take the formal step of publicly naming which state, senior sources confirmed China is believed to be behind the malicious attacks.
The Prime Minister emphasised the attacks "hadn't just started", were ongoing and constant threats to Australia, and said the accumulation of attacks required a firm warning to the government and private sectors to harden their shields.
Some of the attacks have been on state government departments and agencies and local governments, all of which hold sensitive economic and personal data.
"This activity is targeting Australian organisations across a range of sectors, including all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure," Mr Morrison said.

"To raise awareness of this important issue, to encourage organisations, particularly those in health, critical infrastructure and essential services, to take expert advice and implement technical defences to thwart this malicious cyber activity."
It's likely that a surge of this is coming to the US if it hasn't already started.

Australia has been going hard after China over covid 19. China's been threatening them with retaliation the past few months.
ABC -Overview of Australia-China tensions
Also looks like the Australian State of Victoria has signed an agreement with China as part of the Belt and Road Initiative which has caused, basically, a takeover of industry by the Chinese government and heavy Chinese influence in countries that are part of this program (See Italy and several African nation's).
Unfortunately, Australia's been going it alone on much of their push back on China.

The Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism reported a "significant increase" in racist attacks on "Chinese and Asian people", a warning which came shortly after state-run tabloid Global Times told Chinese students to "be cautious about studying in Australia".
It's advice which the Australian Government has disputed, with Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack rejecting the suggestion there had been an increase in racist attacks in Australia.

Tension had been simmering between the two countries in recent years, with Australia's decision to ban the Chinese-owned tech giant Huawei from taking part in the rollout of 5G mobile infrastructure over national security concerns a major point of friction.
The advent of the coronavirus pandemic added more strain to relations. In April, Foreign Minister Marise Payne called for a global inquiry into China's handling of the outbreak, independent of the World Health Organisation.

A fully-fledged diplomatic stoush was brewing as China's ambassador suggested the Chinese public may boycott Australian products if Australia continued its push for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19.
