Shadow Home Affairs and Cyber Security Minister James Paterson says the government has taken “no steps at all” to ensure cyber security after they were forced to admit 62 government departments were hit in a hack.
“There are two really shocking things about this … this happened eight months ago and the government has only now been finally dragged into admitting that 62 government departments and agencies have been affected,” Mr Paterson told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
Government ‘dragged’ into revealing hack which hit 62 departments ‘eight months ago’
“That’s a shocking thing.
“What is worse here is it appears there has been no policy change since this happened.”
Mr Paterson sat down with Ms Markson to discuss the recent cyber attacks to Australian parliament data hacks.
