What cheeses me off

Logged in to myGov two nights ago to deal with some CBR palaver.

Tonight I get this email:

We've noticed sign in activity on your myGov account from a new or unrecognised device.

Date and time: 14 September 2026, <time redacted> Canberra time

Thanks myGov, that was me.

But if it wasn’t me and was actually a hacker, do you really think letting me know a full 48 hours later is helpful?!!

So tempted but they have cameras everywhere including one aimed directly at our place. I’ve kept the video I made just in case.

I've been through this 4 yrs ago, Unfortunately you cannot do anything about the cameras. FYI nor can you do anything about strong lights aimed at the neighbours.

Usually this happens within minutes.

I get this message within a minute or two of logging in usually. Weird it too so long.

Actually thinking about it I got one from Qantas about 24 hours later too this week- maybe there is a backend supplier for the functionality that was having issues
