- giantDinosaur 6y agoThe same government which pushes for encryption nullification. What will we update to, eventually, backdoored encryption standards?
- torified 6y agoNot just "pushes", they have already passed a law where they can secretly force sysadmins to create backdoors for them under threat of 15 years jail, with no legal representation. No warrant necessary, just the approval of a retired judge. And no reporting. You can't make this shit up. Stasi commandant Dutton has also recently introduced a bill to interrogate 14 year olds with no legal representation as well. Bloody scary what's happening here.
- 8ytecoder 6y agoI don’t understand what’s going on in Australia. Why are there so many draconian spying and privacy invasion laws there? When I think of countries affected by terrorism, Australia isn’t the one that comes to my mind. So, what’s the justification behind all of this?
- 0xdeadb00f 6y agoSome combination of "the children!!" And while we aren't the centre of terrorism, that doesn't stop the "encryption promotes terrorism" idea that so many ill informed people seem to have.
- bouncycastle 6y agosounds like most of the "hacks" are actually employees getting phished.
- ShorsHammer 6y agoSomething which happens everyday. In $currentyear, I don't see how even the most tech illiterate employees can't get lessons in phishing prevention along with having sysadmins who are ahead of the curve. Getting reasonable levels of protection isn't hard to achieve, but they are hard to justify the cost of to execs.

- zaphirplane 6y agoWhy? it’s very plausible the attack is exploiting an unpatched exchange owa or whatever. Or trying to login as an employee using password only
- thefounder 6y ago>> Use 2fa Even better: use u2f
