Oz Spy Agency sensitive data, Hacked

Ho-hum, sensitive blueprints for Australia’s new spy agency (ASIO) headquarters have been hacked and traced to a ‘bot’ in China, if that trace report can be believed -- and people wonder why allied nations are disinclined to share sensitive data with Aussie idiots. The irony is that Aussies are also in the ranks of the world’s elite hackers and always have been, notwithstanding that Assange is a major failure and disappointment as a hacker.

Ben Grubb’s story in The Age at least exposes the bungling (drunken) headline seeking bureaucracies for the incompetent organisations they are, thank you, 'Four Corners’.

It should also be stated that these published hacks only scratch the surface of Australia’s thoroughly inept and VULNERABLE bureaucratic agencies -- ALL OF THEM -- and their thoroughly perforated security systems.

Amusingly, government and defence have recently resorted to uni competition lures in a feeble effort to attract skilled IT personnel to their retarded, lame ranks. But what they fail to appreciate is that real hacking is an underground process and conservative uni students winning prizes for basic systems penetration are rarely skilled in the methods of the real underground -- the notion of uni lecturers teaching security is ridiculous -- whatever they teach is passe and redundant, as hacking is a bleeding edge process/pursuit, but to return to the topic.

A note of explanation is required for the uninitiated, I refer to the purported trace to a bot system in China; it is a known that elite hackers operate in real time scenarios and easily avoid traces, elite hacks are performed while wide awake, robotic vacuuming, which kiddies employ, is an automatic means to an end. Elite hackers are impossible to trace, Mr Grubb, we know you know better, so the next time your editor wishes to politically shape your stories tell him/her to go jump otherwise your credibility will suffer, be assured.

Hundreds of thousands of task specific bot servers now populate the internet, some search for ‘ploits’ (doors easily opened) while others vacuum specific data that ‘ploit’ bots locate and prime -- if you monitor any server log in real time a barrage of probes immediately become evident, attacks are incessant and unforgiving, servers not properly maintained by drunken government idiots or by external ‘security’ companies (lol) whose staff have other more urgent priorities on their minds like where to get their next fuck or blow-up doll (more likely) fall prey and it only takes one open door to gain entry into an entire network. At least the Chinese learned one lesson from the Russians -- the world’s best -- they are focused and DEDICATED, you dumb supremely lazy, Aussie wet wicks.

We would also mention before referring readers to the linked story that the systems of defence contractor, Codan, are rifled regularly. The most prized hacker targets today are the military satellite systems of superpowers -- as night follows day these systems will be successfully (and fully) hacked in these times.

[dedication: our enduring respect and ongoing gratitude to ‘ferrite,’ the first but not the last -- many tnx, man!]
