Australian Government’s website security appalling



The buffoons in government are sleeping on the job, siphoning taxpayer dollars to keep their extended lunches afloat or just have ‘outsourced’ low quality I.T. workforce.

When visiting websites, a quintessential part of internet security is a protocol called https, where data travels encrypted as opposed to non encrypted via http.

HTTPS is not new, where it’s been around for a while.

In 2016, a campaign by the Electronic Frontier Foundation with the support of web browser developers led to the protocol becoming more prevalent, where today you wouldn’t want to exchange information with a non https site.

It’s not a matter that the website is ‘just’ a weather site, it’s a matter that your data is being exposed, where a malicious actor could obtain other information in order to compromise your security on your device.

The alleged whole point of fining ‘speeding’ drivers, e.g. 63km/h in a 60km/h zone is that you could kill someone.

Another government failure at the expense of the people.
