Not sure if there was more in the OP's post, the remailer they're using must have been blocked by Aioe, because it's not showing here. "According to the ASCS, the main way the attackers have compromised systems is via a piece of software used to manage web servers called Telerik UI. This vulnerability -- and the patch to fix it -- has been around since 2019. The ASCS also issued an advisory on this very vulnerability in just March this year." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-20/australian-departments-routinely-audited-for-cyber-readiness/12375050 So if the Australian Cyber Security Centre can be believed, it's not so much to do with the NBN as specific government department servers and their insecure software. As for where the attack came from. China seems probable, but public information on any "smoking guns" that actually reveal who performs these attacks never seems to be made public, so one wonders if any of them can genuinely be attributed to a particular government hacking programme without reasonable doubt. It's hard to imagine that state actors couldn't pull off almost any attack via secret VPN servers located in other countries, so the idea that you can study the attack itself and conclude where it came from seems very odd to me. Unless there are spies "on the inside" at least (the US probably has, but I doubt they'd tell our government what they find out). -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
