Hackers from China broke into the computer network of Australian National University (ANU), one of the nation’s leading research institutions for national security and defense projects. The hacking comes amidst Australia’s increasing concern about Beijing’s political interference and other forms of encroachment.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported the hacking of ANU and said that the Chinese regime is the prime suspect, citing national security sources in Australia. The attack that was launched from China “significantly compromised” the university’s computer network, according to Australian officials.
