Australia's computer systems are at risk of being completely wiped out by a serious flaw in the internet and networking infrastructure, warns a US watchdog, and authorities have yet to develop an action plan.
The NSW Government and about 100 Australian telecommunication companies - including Telstra, Optus, Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Nokia - are working around the clock to tackle the problem, say experts.
The United States computer network watchdog, the Computer Emergency Response Team, has issued its biggest warning ever - a 17-page document - that computer systems worldwide could be shutdown, rebooted, erased and used to attack other systems.
