Australian official refuses to single out China

[Respect4Respect01]

Australian attorney general says any country can fall prey to internet espionage.



Australia s attorney-general on Friday said cyber attacks had become so frequent that government and private networks were under "continuous threat", testing online security defenses.



But Robert McClelland declined to single out China, at the centre of hacking allegations from Internet giant Google, saying the "Australian government s position is not to identify a source of suspected espionage."



"The reality is espionage can be unquestionably undertaken by other countries, by organized criminals, or indeed by business competitors," he said.



McClelland said it was "unquestionably" in Australia s interest to stay ahead of the evolving, and mounting, cyber threats
