Parliamentary computers of the Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard, and other ministers may have been hacked, according to Australian media reports.
Details of the reported hack are more than a little vague. Sydney’s Daily Telegraph reported that US intelligence tipped local authorities off over a suspected breach, which reportedly involved the exposure of several thousand emails from up to 10 ministers including Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd and Defence Minister Stephen Smith.
