The Australian National University said on Friday that China-based hackers managed to infiltrate its IT systems, potentially compromising the home of Australia’s leading National Security College and key defense research projects.

Local reports suggest that the federal government has been working with cybersecurity officials since detecting the cyberattack to confirm if there has been any data theft. An intelligence agency contacted the university “months ago” to inform it of the “persistent intrusion into its entire computer network,” local newspapers report.
