Cybersecurity breach at the Australian Parliament
On February 8, 2019, an unidentified hacker breached the Australian Parliament's computer network. Amid speculations that a foreign nation was behind the attack, the country's intelligence agency, Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), immediately launched an investigation. There was initially no evidence that data was accessed, but the parliamentary staff have changed their passwords as a precautionary measure.
