Did China mount a brazen hack into Australia's most sensitive secrets? Did they obtain the blue print for a vast new intelligence HQ, making it instantly obsolete? As Australia struggles to confront an unseen enemy in a secret war that has already cost billions of dollars, the government is doing everything it can not to talk about it. "It's sensitive because if you identify vulnerabilities, then all of a sudden less sophisticated hackers can start to find those weaknesses", Gar Waters, a government consultant on cyber security says. But as even he concedes, this line has its drawbacks because if you don't talk about vulnerabilities, "then you can't talk about solutions". Many say the digital trail leads to the Chinese: "In terms of Chinese espionage, yeah Australia definitely has a problem", claims Richard Bejtlich, Chief Security Officer at Mandiant Cyber Security. He explains the strength of Chinese espionage unit, its headquarters housing possibly up to a thousand hackers. As they also target major public businesses, the deafening silence surrounding these 'break-ins' is becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
