Key Findings

• Australia holds general elections on May 3, 2025, with final polls reporting a small lead for Anthony Albanese’s incumbent Labor party over Peter Dutton’s opposition Coalition.
• The policies of U.S. President Donald Trump have likely impacted voter candidate preferences in the Australian election, and there is evidence that Chinese-backed cyber threat actors have attempted to influence the election in support of current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
• The biggest cyber risks to the election come from financially motivated deep and dark web (DDW) actors selling compromised account credentials linked to voters and online election infrastructure.
