Major Data Breach

Glad you found it and not some a hole

Interesting point to note though.... Any pest control company is publicly searchable with the directors private addresses publicly listed.

I have been fighting this for years now asking for my details to be redacted citing the risk of P cat stuff and them outing my storage address. I have spoken with the Firearms Safety Authority, the Privacy Commissioner, the Companies office and ACT. Nicole is the only one who cares and is going to try to push through changes to the companies act to allow redaction.

Everyone else that I spoke to essentially just brushed it off as not their issue, all of this is documented in emails should anything ever happen.

No you cant legally list a PO Box or Lawyers/Accountants addresses either.

@McNotty Do you know if the company concerned has notified those possibly impacted yet?

Same goes for any gun shop, gunsmith, gun supplier, gun part manufacturer etc.

Gidday, I’m unsure.

My family member on there hadn’t been contacted after talking to him in weekend.

I’ve got no idea what PC or police have done. You don’t typically hear back from them if it doesn’t directly affect you.

Yeah in the case of a data privacy breach at a minimum they should be contacting those impacted to say we might have lost your data, offer them some contact addresses/phone numbers/guidance for support. Some companies even hire specialist support agencies to do this. They might also announce it publicly. Often they will try and figure out if someone has downloaded the data first to get a more accurate picture. But a week is the longest they should take, 2 weeks as a bit arse... longer than that and they're getting into class action territory.
