A federal parliament IT disruption resulted in parliament staff being unable to access their email over the weekend. 

 

Assistant Defence Minister Andrew Hastie confirmed the Australian Signals Directorate is working with the Department of Parliamentary Services to investigate the issue. 

 

Another separate cybersecurity incident over the weekend interrupted Channel Nine’s live broadcast. Cyber security researcher Dr Suelette Dreyfus said the Channel Nine attack appeared to be a ransomware attack.
