\"ASPI-CICIR<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Last week, ASPI hosted The China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR) for the second ASPI-CICIR 1.5 Track Cyber Dialogue. ASPI welcomed representatives from CICIR, the Cyberspace Administration of China, CNCERT\/CC, and the Chinese Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence to Canberra for a lively exchange on approaches to new and emerging cyber security issues.<\/p>\n

Topics discussed with the Australian side\u2014consisting of government and private sector cyber leaders including The Commonwealth Bank and Telstra\u2014covered online crime, China\u2019s new cyber legislation, opportunities for capacity building, the implementation of international law and norms and new avenues for cooperation.<\/p>\n

The 1.5 track dialogue followed the official level Australia-China Cyber Policy Dialogue which took place the preceding day at the Department of Foreign Affairs, a short summary of which is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking a bit further afield, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India handed down a controversial decision<\/a> yesterday to block Facebook\u2019s \u2018Free Basics\u2019 program from operating on the sub-continent. Free Basics was designed by Facebook to help provide free internet access to those who couldn\u2019t otherwise afford it. The program relies upon \u2018zero rating\u2019 by ISPs, whereby access to a limited number of sites and services is effectively \u2018unmetered\u2019 and free. This approach has drawn criticism from some who argue that it\u2019s counter to the principal of net neutrality. The Indian government has agreed with that perspective, ruling against<\/a> allowing any form of discriminatory access to the internet, regardless of the intention<\/a> of the supplier.<\/p>\n

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has announced<\/a> that its new CEO, G\u00f6ran Marby, will be taking up the high profile role from May. Marby, who\u2019s director-general of the Post and Telecom Authority in his native Sweden will make the move to Los Angeles to take over the role from outgoing head Fadi Chehade. The organisation, which currently manages<\/a> the internet\u2019s domain name system on behalf of the US government, is helping to transition this oversight function to a non-government organisation.<\/p>\n

Staying in the US, President Barack Obama is set to request<\/a> a significant bump in federal funding for cyber security programs. Rumours are rife that as part of the White House\u2019s annual budget proposal, President Obama will seek to increase his request for cyber cash from last year\u2019s US$14 billion to $19 billion. Those additional funds are expected to be diverted towards the creation of another high-level federal cyber security position, and the creation of a new commission on cyber security.<\/p>\n

Across the Pacific, China\u2019s powerhouse online marketplace Taobao<\/a>, operated by internet giant Alibaba, was compromised<\/a> recently when online criminals accessed over 21 million customer accounts. Using Alibaba\u2019s own cloud server, the infiltrators used details stolen in previous unrelated attacks to access the Taobao accounts. Once compromised, the accounts were used<\/a> to make fake reviews and fake bids on the e-bay like site. Alibaba refused to confirm how many accounts in total were infiltrated, but assured customers that most of the accounts remained protected.<\/p>\n

And finally, if you\u2019re with internet service provider TPG, you may have noticed a slowdown in your internet speed this week. This is due to a break<\/a> in TPG\u2019s Pipe Pacific Cable between Sydney and Guam. On 5 February, engineers received multiple alarms from the system indicating the break. TPG is routing its traffic<\/a> through Optus\u2019 Southern Cross Cable and Telstra\u2019s Australian\u2013Japan Cable while it makes repairs that are expected to take over a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
