From the Australian Signals Directorate advisory:
> The title ‘Copy-paste compromises’ is derived from the actor’s heavy use of proof-of-concept exploit code, web shells and other tools copied almost identically from open source.
Surely adequate can fit into defending against common open source toolkits?
- thelittleone 6y agoA quote from the PM "“We know it is a sophisticated, state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used". I didn't see open source toolkit mentioned in the article.
- torified 6y agoHmm, a "sophisticated state actor" or a copy-paste script kiddy? Which one was it? Copy-paste and open source was enough to get into the Australian Parliament, apparently our pollies simply can't resist the allure of larger penises and wealthy Nigerians in trouble. Or maybe, just maybe, there is just the slightest possibility that this is all just a manufactured distraction from other issues... These are the nincompoops who passed a law to backdoor everyone's encryption and nuke their own country's IT industry from orbit with a law that nobody wanted. What a surprise that they can't keep their own data secure.
