Kangaroos vs Keyboards: Australia’s Hilarious Hustle to Hack the Hackers

Roused from its “cyber slumber,” Australia is launching its “Australian Cyber Security Strategy” to combat cyber villains. With a “ransomware playbook,” a plan to rope in cyber-savvy migrants, and a whopping $586 million pledge, it’s game on! But wait, the opposition labels it a “major flop.” Will this cyber crusade be Australia’s saving grace or just another Oz blunder?

Hot Take:

Down Under is waking up from its "cyber slumber" and has a plan to fight back against the cyber bad guys. With a fancy "ransomware playbook" for businesses and a plan to enlist cyber-savvy migrants, it seems Australia is ready to fight firewalls with firewalls. But hold your kangaroos, folks - the opposition is calling this a "major flop." So, will this cyber strategy be the shrimp on the barbie Australia needs or just another blooper from the land of Oz?
