Cyber-Attack

The ABC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation has reported on Wednesday that a major cyber-attack has been committed against Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology which may have compromised sensitive national security information and this is being blamed on China.

The cyber-attack which the ABC said has occurred in recent days may have allowed access to the department of defense through a linked network, The Bureau of Meteorology owns one of Australia’s largest supercomputers.

The ABC referring several unidentified sources with the knowledge of massive breach has placed the blame of the cyber-attack on China which has also been accused of hacking sensitive Australian government computer systems in the past.

It is china, the ABC has quoted one source as saying. The bureau of Meteorology said in a statement on its website that it did not comment on security matters but it was working closely with security agencies and its computer systems were fully operational.

The department of Defense said in a statement that it was barred by policy on commenting on specific cyber security incidents. The Chinese embassy situated in Canberra could not be reached for a comment while the Australian federal police declined to comment on the matter.

Has China been accused of a cyber-attack before?

China has been accused many times of using computing resources in order to sneak into online business for competitive advantage as well as conducting acts of cyber spying. US officials had blamed Chinese hackers for compromising their records for up to four million former and government employees in June this year.

China had called United States comments as irresponsible while President Barrack Obama had vowed that the United States would aggressively strengthen its cyber defenses. Australia’s top trading partner is China with two-way trade of about $110 billion in 2013, they had also signed a landmark free trade agreement in 2014 in order to boost commercial ties.

Australia needs China’s help in order to transition from reliance on exports of minerals like coal and iron ore to expanding its food and agricultural exports to a growing Asian middle class, moving from a mining boom to dining boom.

In the past, Chinese firms have been locked out of sensitive deals due to security concerns, most prominently a decision in 2013 to stop Huawei from bidding on Australia’s national broadband network; which was a deal worth $10 billion.
