At least this time around SMH have apparently understood the situation and called out First State Super.
Also; 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."
I 100% agree that the government should handle these situations, unfortunately the closest thing we have is The Privacy Commission - which is completely toothless.

- mikeash 15y agoIf his work laptop contains customer-related information which endangers their accounts, that would definitely be a matter for the police.
