With luck, this may be the precedent the world needs to shake up lax privacy everywhere.
If the Australian Government actually goes through with its threat to make Optus pay millions to cover the cost of the damage its lax security has caused then the idea may catch on elsewhere.
It seems to me that at the risk of going bankrupt over a breach of its customers' privacy a company would want to divest itself of as much information about its customers as was possible.
Wouldn't it be great if that were to happen.

- john_the_writer 4y agoWould the have to pay millions for the covidsafe leaks? I mean I hope the Government goes after that Service NSW Data Breach too. Would be cool to see huge fines put to them. Would I get some of my tax back for that? People should 100% sue, but that the Gov says anything is laughable. "We are outraged.".. "Didn't you have a breach last year?".. "I said we are outraged. Don't look over there. Look over here."
