what I'm concerned is that the ISIS is using the same mobile phone, the same type, the same OS, as other world's citizens which means that if there is 0-day or hidden backdoors on the android phones it means that all people in the world having the same mobile phones are vulnerable to these kinds of hacks.... right? any thought?

1:36: 🔒 A top-secret military intelligence unit in Australia during World War II decoded Japanese radio signals and encrypted messages for Allied troops. 6:33: 💣 The summary is about the role of Central Bureau in World War II and the Bali bombings in 2002. 13:57: 💣 The investigation into the Bali bombings relied on mobile phone data and signals intelligence analysis. 20:09: 🔍 The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) played a crucial role in identifying and capturing terrorists involved in the Bali bombings and preventing an individual from joining the Taliban. 26:31: 🌐 ASD successfully convinces Ali to leave Kabul and return home after three months of monitoring his activities. 31:45: 🔒 ASD used offensive cyber capabilities to deny ISIS access to the internet and disrupt their communications during the operation Valleywolf. 37:42: 🔒 ASD's cyber warriors played a crucial role in the fight against ISIS and in protecting Australia from cyber threats during the COVID-19 pandemic. 43:48: 🔒 ASD successfully disrupts a global cyber criminal syndicate by disabling their malware and damaging their reputation. 49:25: 💻 The cyber war between Russia and Ukraine involves a blending of cyber criminals and state actors, with both sides recruiting hackers for their operations. 56:41: ✨ The cybersecurity efforts of Ukraine have shown that a team approach can be successful in defending against cyber attacks and upholding democracy. Recap by Tammy AI

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

Ukraine was couped by USA in 2014. Does ASD even know whats inside the USA bases inside our own country? The ones Gough Whitlam asked about and was removed for due to Kerr's love of CIA? Fools with big toys.

Highly polished and beautifully crafted piece of journalism from the ABC [Aus national broadcaster].... There's some gaps though. 1. Why was the west in Afghanistan? 2. At the end of the day, what was achieved there? 3. Why did the USA do a deal to release 5000 Taliban from prison? Context is everything in intelligence circles.

It’s super interesting hearing the reasons they banned Huawei. They basically realised that if Australia was capable of this stuff, then China would be far more capable.

It's probably the most secretive of all Oz government agencies. Thanks for posting ABC. This is really interesting.

@@Hutcho72 From a distance, and as you're driving past, the wings of the eagle look more like bunny ears hence the nickname. It's only really unambiguously an eagle if you're in Russell or have a closer view of it which the majority of people won't have.
