‘Greater dangers’: Critical infrastructure at risk of cyber attacks

Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says the “spate of major cybercrimes” Australians have endured so far have been “very much about ransomware and identity theft”.

“In other words, hackers steal sensitive personal information and threaten to release it unless a ransom is paid,” Mr Greenwood said.

“But there are greater dangers that need to be guarded against – namely if hackers gain control of jet infrastructure and start turning things on or off.”

Mr Greenwood sat down with Fortinet’s Australian Head of Operational Technology and Critical Infrastructure Michael Murphy to discuss infrastructure at risk of cyber-attacks.
