The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has confirmed it was among more than two dozen Australian government agencies, critical infrastructure providers, universities and media organisations targeted in a sophisticated cyber espionage campaign. The campaign, dubbed 'Adfection', was identified by The Citizen Lab, which found that the Israel-based company Discover-Tech exploited online advertising systems to deliver spyware to devices merely by viewing an ad. The ABC said a small number of staff devices were exposed, but no evidence of tracking or compromise has been found.
