The assessment found the Chinese state-sponsored actors known as Advanced Persistent Threat 40 (APT 40) were responsible. They are linked to China’s Ministry of State Security, according to the GCSB...

Sounds like we're out of our depth, what do we do sarge

”It shows why we need a top-quality GCSB to protect the interests of the New Zealand Parliament.”

Xi's boys up to their old tricks. Don't do it again fellas, or we'll issue another strongly worded statement.

It was classified I spose, there's a lot we're not told. Frank could probably give us a lot of juicy intel but I don't want to get whacked for knowing too much.
