A reasonably happy note of sanity is sounded at the end of the article:
'NSW Police said it was not taking any further action on this matter. "There was no criminal offence committed and the company in question has been informed of the outcome. It was more a case of a civic-minded person reporting a potential security breach."'
- jobu 15y agoThe comments from the First State officials seem fairly sane as well, but this is completely over the top: "The next day Webster received a letter from First State's law firm, Minter Ellison, telling him his actions constituted a breach of the Crimes Act and Criminal Code Act... ...The firm said they may go after him for costs related to the matter." Hopefully someone reigns in these vicious lawyers before they screw over one of the good guys.
