Australia's Cyber Threat: Unseen Dangers in Critical Infrastructure
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Australias critical infrastructure faces a growing cyber threat, with state-backed hackers, particularly from China, already embedded in systems like immigration control, shipping wharves, and airport customs checkpoints. An Iranian-backed group recently accessed classified plans for Australias Redback infantry fighting vehicle. As Australia embarks on the AUKUS agreement, bringing nuclear-powered submarines and new undersea internet cables, the threat landscape is amplified by AI-powered malware. Australia must act now by integrating civilian infrastructure into its defense cyber strategy, accelerating AI deployment, and rehearsing for real conflict scenarios to protect national interests and prevent potential damage from cyberattacks.
