Chinese Hackers Attack on New Zealand

New Zealand has denounced the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for its state-backed cyber activities, specifically targeting democratic institutions, including the UK’s Electoral Commission and Members of Parliament. The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) of New Zealand has firmly highlighted the involvement of a state-sponsored actor associated with the PRC in a series of cyber-attacks against New Zealand’s Parliamentary entities. This alarming revelation has elicited strong condemnation and underscores the growing concern over the integrity of democratic processes on a global scale.

The cyber-attacks, attributed to a PRC state-sponsored group known as APT40, have prompted a comprehensive technical assessment by the GCSB’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The swift and decisive action, in collaboration with the impacted organizations, facilitated the identification, containment, and removal of the threat actors from the network. The Minister Responsible for the GCSB, Judith Collins, expressed resolute intolerance towards such interference in democratic institutions, emphasizing the imperative of protecting critical government information and fortifying cyber defenses to mitigate future cyber threats.

The gravity of these cyber-attacks emphasizes the indispensable need for robust cybersecurity practices to safeguard against state-sponsored activities that imperil democratic institutions and sensitive government information. The collective international response to combat cyber espionage serves as a powerful testament to the shared commitment to upholding democratic values and preserving the integrity of democratic processes. New Zealand’s unwavering dedication to cybersecurity signifies a pivotal step in the ongoing battle against state-sponsored cyber threats, demonstrating the imperative of global cooperation in fortifying cyber resilience and protecting democratic institutions.
