Australia's major political parties targeted by 'sophisticated state actor', PM says

Scott Morrison says Liberals, Labor and Nationals affected by 'malicious' cyber activity

Australia's major political parties have been targeted by a "sophisticated state actor", according to Scott Morrison, as part of a breach of the Parliament House computer network.

The head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre, Alastair MacGibbon, says agencies were unsure what material had been taken in the incident because the rapid remediation efforts had removed some of the forensic evidence.
