Australian spy chief fears sabotage of critical infrastructure

ASIO warns that a highly capable nation-state actor is conducting sophisticated cyber reconnaissance against Australian critical infrastructure (water, transport, energy) and that a foreign intelligence-run group dubbed "The A‑Team" has successfully used social-media personas, staged conferences, and targeted recruitment (including a former politician and academics) to gather sensitive information; ASIO says it has disrupted several schemes and will publish guidance to strengthen organizational security culture.
