Australia's PM announced today that Australia was currently under cyber-attack from "a state-based actor, with very significant capabilities.”

He wouldn't name the "actor" but we can take a pretty good guess.

“This activity is targeting Australian organisations across a range of sectors, including all levels of government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure."

My guess is they're going after the tracking data.

It's similar to the gain-of-function experiments - they don't achieve anything - they just present significant opportunity for something to go wrong.
