The computers/ servers should have a firewall that allows only one person's
data to be retrieved at a time – and then a time limit of say 2 minutes before
another piece of data can be retrieved -
not Gigabytes of data about millions of customers in one hit.
It's as though they all designed by imbeciles.
Can't the servers recognise that something is wrong?

Bobby have you called Qantas to offer them advice?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Take a Diazepam and settle down, Bobbi.

Your details are going to be stolen again.

And again.

Optus gets hacked, so you move to Telstra?

Pointless - Telstra will get hacked too.

Qantas gets hacked, so you move to Virgin?

Pointless - Virgin will get hacked too.

This is normal life now, Bobbi.

Your private information is going to be stolen all the time from a variety of different organisations.

Take a chill pill and just change your passwords every now and then.

There really isn't much more you can do.

And next all your Grubberment information will be stolen too
...

Oh, absolutely.

It's not a matter of if MyGov will be compromised, it's a matter of when.

Not yet - I'm sure they need me. Undecided

MyGov has probably already been broken into -
it's not as though they would tell us.
