Russian security outfit Kaspersky says it will continue to provide details of advanced persistent threats (APTs or nation-state actors) no matter the country of their origin, but these details will only be available to customers who subscribe to their services.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre tried to censor the content of a talk to be given by the partner of a Sydney legal firm at the CyberCon conference in Melbourne last week, but the organisers backed down at the last minute and the talk went ahead in its original format.

Two prominent speakers have had their talks cancelled at the ongoing CyberCon conference in Melbourne, which is organised by the Australian Information Security Association and is the largest cyber security event in the country.
