I tell you what, next time there's a breach, I won't bother with discussing it in here. Instead, I'll lodge a complaint with the ACMA detailing the breach (along with the history of breaches), I'll also lodge a complaint with the Federal Privacy Commissioner and I'll put together a nice...

An Australian organisation is bound by Australian laws — no matter who outsourced to.

Yep, that's what I already have — two seperate email addresses. I funnel thouse into one AFF folder on my machine. Well you guys really are defending the indefensible — you're just as responsible for the email addresses associated with the list as well as the forums. Your customers don't care...

My forum and newsletter email addresses are different. None of the email addresses have yet been changed though I'll be changing the newsletter one, the one which was breached. As for reporting this, I haven't reported it to Aweber, only here in this thread. The breach may have occured earlier...

The point is data security. And, it's not just me. Clearly I have in place measures to remain spam free. Ever wonder where spammers get your email address from? Well, it's from data breaches like this. You appear to be unconcerned about this. I believe you should be concerned about the...

Thank you. I’ll check those out and report back here.

I’m hoping that someone can point me to where I can find historical information on Australian domestic air fares. I remember seeing something on a government website, but that didn’t provide any breakdown aside from month to month, for the whole of Australia. Specifically, I’m looking at...

The simple fact is that Veda is responsible for the personal information it holds. It does not matter how that information was acquired.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) Veda Advantage has a responsibility to keep information it holds accurate. Veda Advantage is merely seeking to lessen its own workload by palming off inquiries to the credit providers. Veda holds the data, I therefore hold it responsible. It can do the...
