Australia's weapons programs exposed in defence industry cyber attacks linked to Israeli weapons company Elbit

A series of cyber attacks on defence industry supply chain contractors has exposed threats to Australia's weapons programs, security analysts say.

Over the past week, it was revealed that a hacker group shared material about Australia's $7 billion Land 400 military program after allegedly breaching several Israeli defence companies.

The Cyber Toufan group posted images and details on Telegram about the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) next-generation Redback infantry fighting vehicle.

Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems is involved in the project, supplying the vehicle's high-tech turrets.
