Cyber Threats Targeting Hybrid Workers
The Australian Signals Directorate warns employers that state-sponsored cyber crime actors are targeting remote and flexible workers.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) released its sixth Annual Cyber Threat Report, highlighting a "serious and growing threat" from state-sponsored cyber actors.
These actors have also compromised home devices connected to the internet, such as home routers, to create botnets that support further targeting around the globe.
The report notes that these actors targeted networks operated by Australian governments, critical infrastructure, and businesses for state goals.
