5. SECRET THREAT ASSESSMENT This assessment draws on information available as at 1130 hours, 24 MAY 2002. Update: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) facilities - Australia Wide • Key points • ASIO, AFP and relevant state police services have no information of a specific threat to CSIRO facilities. • For some time, genetically modified (GM) materials have been a side issue for most issue motivated groups (IMGs). Recent incidents however suggest the issue is beginning to attract increased attention. [R] • CSIRO holds national security classified material (NSCM) and sensitive material that is likely to be of interest to a range of foreign states and commercial entities. [R] • AS10 assesses that the threat from Foreign Intelligence Services (FIS) is medium. [R] • Access to information within the CSIRO should be limited to those with a specific need to know and team members should remain aware of and acknowledge their security responsibilities. Staff should be mindful of the harm which may be caused should sensitive information be either deliberately or accidentally compromised. [S] • The implementation of effective security measures and vigilance to possible threats will deter most foreign intelligence services. [C] • Since 11 September terrorist attacks in the US, the assessed level of threat of chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) terrorism in Australia has increased from low to medium and the likelihood of CBR hoaxes has increased from low to high. There is no information to indicate CSIRO is at threat from CBR Terrorism. [R] Threat level • The threat to CSIRO facilities from protest is assessed as LOW. [R] • The threat to CSIRO from Computer Network Attack as HIGH. [R] • The threat to CSIRO supporting infrastructure is LOW. [R] • The threat to CSIRO from FIS is assessed as MEDIUM.
