Burgess stated that these hackers are scanning networks in the energy, water, telecommunications, and transport sectors, not just for espionage, but as part of a “cyber-enabled sabotage” effort. He cautioned that such a “disrupt and destroy” capability could have a devastating impact on the Australian economy and society if activated during a future conflict.
