Australia's spy agency, ASIO, has accused some countries of engaging in foreign interference operations in the country. According to ASIO Chief Mike Burgess, at least three or four nations have been found involved in such activities, including some that may surprise people. However, he declined to reveal their identities. This comes after the government previously named Iran as having engaged in foreign interference. Burgess stated that these operations aim to threaten and intimidate Australians living abroad. ASIO has foiled several plots and will continue to monitor potential risks surrounding future elections.
