  • Australia has suffered an enormous 'state-based' cyber attack on its gov, education, health, and business sectors - China may be behind it

    From businessinsider.com.au

    The Prime Minister has revealed that Australia has been the target of a large-scale cyber attack. Briefing media on Friday morning, Scott Morrison said attacks had comprehensive in scope, aimed at the government, education, health, and business sectors. “We know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used.” Mr Morrison told reporters at an impromptu media conference held at Parliament House. Morrison said cyberattacks on Australia had been increasing over recent months. While he did not name the country behind the attack, given rising ... (full story)

See the freedom of speech - your previous profanities comments are still left intact here as no childish kids who cannot bear to see the truth will go complain to FF like someone do here to ban other traders freedom of discussion.

AND for record, I never have any allergy against america, I like the friendly Americans, I just do not like their government goes messing other countries front lawn when theirs is a total mess. THIS, my mate, is my freedom of choice of what I like and what I do not like. I do not care what you think, that is not my business - again, freedom of speech and choice. So grow up

Off tangent yet again.

NotBoris! Not Smart of you to discuss matters you have no clue about whatsoever. It’s not difficult to see your allergy against USA, but please do yourself a favor, check the facts before posting such nonsense.
FYI When Rodrigo Duterte, the president of Philippines, got elected 5 years ago, the first thing he did was to show the Americans the door and tell them to never come back in this area again. Barack Obama was about to visit Philippines that time, but his visit was canceled because of that. Duterte’s actions was dictated by the Chinese government because China did not like the USA presence in this area, as they could not invade the resource rich area and make every country in the area slaves.
You simply cannot blame on USA for what China is doing there. China began foking around right after USA left from there.
Next year - election in Philippines. Duterte is done. USA will come back in the South China Sea islands and reestablish the order.

This is the kind of free speech I am talking about and the kind that many people here misunderstand and confuse with free speech, transparency and democracy.

As for this pm of australia, where was he when the country was on fire? Holiday!! Friendly Aussies have to suffer while this pm was on holiday??!!! How about the time when Australia cyber attack on others just to get oil and gas? Last but not least, no one prove it was china, and for all we know the cyber attack may not have taken place in the first place. Why? Because it’s not worth it, simple as that

Now transparency on Covid, the failure of our governments in the west to tackle the issue is to be blame on China, take a break matey! Malaria pills anyone - by trump, who has boxes that he said he takes.

Try to understand what goes on in the world rather then ones tunnel vision.

How about saying something plain and turn the table around. Can america just stop being such a complete jerk all the time

{quote} I can answer that for you. Your post may, or may not have value but when you use words like "pathetic moron" or blame the whole planet's problems on one country, then you will be censored. Then, in your follow up, you say "what the fuck" to the moderators. By putting WTF, it doesn't make your language polite, it makes you look offensive and lazy. How do you think the moderators feel about that? Try to calm down. Think things through. Work out what you are going to say. Make proper debate.
Haha yes preacher. Self control my ass. There is not self control and no politeness in the fight against such idiots. Every action causes equal reaction. I don’t give anything for granted to communist brainwashed stoneheads.
BTW your screwed fantasied tells you that I wrote what a fuck. I wrote Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. On some other occasions it can be interpreted as We Trade Forex.

Agreed

These vile people might as well blame the rest of the world about H1N1 pandemic, instead of its origin country. I don't remember people cursing and swearing at america when compared to what I do see now.

Some people are just vile....

As for Australia, I do think the local Aussie public sentiment against Morrison had yet to fade away from his indifferent attitude towards their recent horrible fire. While people suffers in fire, this pm of theirs was on freaking holiday????!!!!

Because "you're worth it"... it is that simple.

If one look at the amount of profanities your spurt over meaningful debates you put across, it is not difficult to see why. Maybe something you can start to develop some self control on.

3)If you're in negotiation with another country wouldn't you want to know if your opponent had maladies to exploit and what state secrets does your country hide from the rest of the world about your countries pandemics if you have them?
