Optus hack was negligence (Read 74 times)

FutureTheLeftWant Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 6625 Gender:	Optus hack was negligence Sep 29^th, 2022 at 9:27am So apparently the 'hack' was an API to access all customer data, with literally no auth on it. Pure negligence. Any child could have looked it up, it was public for anyone to see, you just had to find the URL

Unfortunately we're too busy thinking about our NRL to bother with a URL.
