Aussie Spies Spooked By Cyberwar
An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks cables released overnight revealed that Australia's top cyber spy agency (akin to the NSA) was unprepared for cyberwar in the view of other intelligence agencies in 2008. Australian agencies were so concerned they asked US intelligence to provide the framework to defend the country's critical information infrastructure, modelling on the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative. Spooks also discussed how Israel was preparing to take down Iran's nuclear program and how to stay relevant when so much information that was classified was now open source and available to anyone."
Australia would freely admit that they could be taken down by Anonymous, and therefore Anonymous would leave us alone.
It's only if we were to taunt them that we would be in real trouble...

At least the US knows where to find the documents, one of our MP's is still trying to locate them.
