Australia’s Minister for Home Affairs, Claire O'Neil, has denied that Australians are easy targets for hackers, despite millions of Australians suffering from data and privacy breaches in multiple cyber attacks over the past 12 months.

The comment comes after a Russian hacker told the ABC’s Four Corners program that he thought Australians were the stupidest people alive when it came to cybersecurity.
