Australian Info and Cyber Security Last Week 12th June 2023
The ACT Government has been caught up in the Barracuda email gateway vulnerability. Investigations are continuing, I suspect there will be more organisations caught in this one.An update to the HWL Ebsworth with the Tasmanian Government caught up as one of their clients. The firm a many high-profile and government clients. More to play out here as well.
A slower week for other news but a great ABC video on the Australian intelligence agencies is worth a watch.
