This technique rendered geo-blocking ineffective and added legitimacy to malicious network traffic during investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ACSC\u2019s advice in the wake of its investigation is to patch internet-facing everything, adopt MFA for email, remote desktops, VPNs and collaboration platforms, follow previous Australian government security advice and enable verbose logging to help triage future attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists in the PM\u2019s press conference immediately asked if China was a suspect, as the nation recently took offence at Australia\u2019s call for an international inquiry into the source of the COVID-19 pandemic and appears to have retaliated with new trade disputes and advice that its citizens should not visit Australia as tourists or students.
