VTV.vn - Australia's parliament had to reset all the passwords on its computer network on Thursday, after an unknown attacker tried to hack into the system.

Investigators say they have found no evidence that attackers stole any data. A number of measures have been implemented to protect the network and its users.

Senior officers in the Australian government said on Friday that the incident does not influence the outcome of parliamentary processes or disrupt electoral or political processes. They added that state-backed hackers were likely to be responsible. According to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, there is no suggestion that government departments or agencies have been the target of any such incursion.
