Episode Details

Russian hackers are exploiting outdated software and weak passwords to infiltrate Australia’s critical infrastructure — from defense and energy to finance — using tactics as simple as leaving digital doors unlocked. The Australian Signals Directorate warns government agencies, especially local and state levels, are most at risk, with groups like Berserk Bear and Dragonfly repeatedly targeting systems for sensitive data. The fix? Update software, secure network devices, and enforce strong passwords — basic steps that could stop these attacks before they escalate. This isn’t an Australian issue alone — the U.S., U.K., Canada, and others are sounding the same alarm.
