BREAKING: Chinese hackers known as Salt Typhoon compromised at least 8 telecommunications companies, deputy national security advisor @AnneNeuberger announced on a call with reporters, and “we do not believe any have fully removed the Chinese from their networks... Until they address their gaps, the Chinese will maintain their access.”

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Our government serves all Australians.

We are proudly pro-business and pro-worker.

We don’t see this as a point of tension, we see it as a matter of logic.

[Mike Bareja @mikebareja]

Australia needs to adopt an AI framework that safeguards the community, while also encouraging businesses to use this technology.

Cyber security means sticking with trusted, not any, providers | @BassiJustin and @isjamesking | https://t.co/jrvY3HEfBq

[Justin Bassi @BassiJustin]

Great to write with @isjamesking on Crowdstrike ⤵️

- More providers would be ideal. But the emphasis must be on trust, not simply availability.
- Not just trust that nothing will go wrong, but trust when something does go wrong.
- Malign threats ultimately pose the bigger risk.

So they basically held an intervention with Biden, and it didn't work, so now they're leaking the details publicly.
