1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Done of the mayor is up early person and Australian

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: good morning to you, good morning. Were all the banks

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: under cyber attack?

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: This is quite alarming. They have issued a warning. We

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: heard from a gentleman called Christian from their National Australia Bank,

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: the NAB, and he says that the Big four are

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: under attack constantly from these cyber attacks. And in his words,

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: every bank all the time is being bombarded by cyber

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: attacks every minute of every day and customers are increasingly

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: vulnerable to scams. Now what's happening. All these attackers are

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: trying to get into computer systems for instance, as we know,

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: deny services to customers, use malicious code, breach loggins, steal

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: information and money. So Christian told the ABC that the

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: entire community, every Australian that uses the banking services of

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: the Big four is at risk. He's called it a

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: war a type of warfare. In fact, you know, he's

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: saying like there's everything from the you know, the person

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: in his basement trying to steal money and so forth,

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: right up to these very sophisticated, ruthless crime groups that

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: are trying to hack and cyber attack the big bangs,

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: the banks say that's spent a fortune trying to protect

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: themselves from this, about three billion dollars a year. Now,

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: just a few hours later after this was you know,

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: these quotes were released from Christian Would you believe it?

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: The nab app and the internet banking all went out.

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: There were mass outages across Australia and thousands of Australians

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: couldn't get into their bank accounts and they were furious.

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: But thankfully that's all been reinstated overnight.

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Now, what about this Melbourne airport thing? How widespread?

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: How bad is this?

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, well, Borderfalls has been honing in on aviation

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: workers and it's found that dozens of Melbourne Airport staff,

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 2: well they've been accused of working for organized criminals trying

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: to smuggle drugs into Australia. So the investigation found that

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: was a seventy staff at Melbourne Airport alone that breach

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: security checks over twelve months, and some are actually suspected

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: of working within organized crime, you know, distributing drugs allegedly,

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,680
