According to a government report, cybercrime attacks targeting Australia's critical infrastructure, businesses, and homes have increased. The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported a 23% surge in cybercrime incidents, estimating that there is a hack on Australian assets every six minutes. State-sponsored cyber groups are showing a growing interest in Australia's critical infrastructure, partly due to the country's new defence agreement with the UK and the US. The report also mentioned the potential use of techniques by a state-sponsored Chinese hacking group against Australia's telecommunications, energy, and transportation sectors.
