]]>Senate president Scott Ryan yesterday told a Senate estimates hearing that, after reading the “rather technical” report for the first time on Friday, he is now awaiting a “plain language briefing” from cyber security experts before providing an update to the Senate.
Ryan said, however, that it is unlikely that an unclassified version of the report will be released.
“But I will say at this point that there are obviously implications for our future security as a parliament, as well as our cooperation with various agencies,” Ryan said.
“I am not convinced that publishing the report I have received, even in a redacted form, would be helpful,” the Senate president added.
The cyberattack, which extended to the networks of the Liberal, Labor and National parties, forced more than 4000 parliamentarians and staff, as well as the Department of Parliamentary Services, to reset their passwords.
Despite claims that no data had been accessed at the time of the attack, an Australian Signals Directorate assessment has since revealed that a limited amount of non-confidential data was in fact stolen by a state-sponsored actor.

]]>The post Fifield Fixes 5G Spectrum Limits appeared first on Smart Office.
]]>The new limits of 60MHz in metropolitan areas and 80MHz in regional areas come ahead of an auction of 125MHz of 5G spectrum in the 3.6GHz band, to be held later this year. This will severely limit the ability of Optus and NBN Co to participate, as they already hold significant spectrum in these bands.
It will also handicap newcomer TPG, which needs spectrum for the planned launch of its mobile services.
Fifield said the limits would allow for a competitive auction process and prevent any one bidder from acquiring enough spectrum to preclude other telcos from rolling out 5G networks.
He said the limits had been set following careful consideration of advice from the ACCC, which had consulted with relevant parties.
Said Fifield: “These auction limits promote competition in the telecommunications industry, while ensuring this scarce spectrum is put to its highest-value use. The 3.6GHz band is recognised internationally as a key band for telcos to roll out new 5G networks.”

]]>The device is ideal for consumers who have recently purchased a new Ultra High Definition TV and want fast streaming of content or for families who have expanded the amount of internet connected devices that they use at home.
The $199.95 device delivers the following key features.
• NBN / UFB Ready with an Integrated VDSL / ADSL2+ Modem built-in
• Wireless AC1200 Connectivity for a fast Wi-Fi network
• MU-MIMO Technology sends and receives data simultaneously to increase speed and efficiency
• Four Gigabit LAN ports with one configurable LAN/WAN port for high speed wired connections
• Simple to setup and manage
Research reveals that today’s households are connecting more devices to the Internet than ever before and with an average home having 17 devices in use, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, let alone smart TV’s, gaming consoles, and IoT devices, it’s important that each device gets the speed and coverage it deserves as old routers will not deliver fast streaming or allow for multiple devices to stream content quickly.
An NBN official said recently that they often get blamed for slow Wi Fi connectivity when in reality consumers need to upgrade their Wi Fi router.

D Link claims their new Dual Band Wi-Fi AC1200 HD video streams, fast file transfers, and lag-free video chatting, all with less wireless interference for maximum throughput.
Managing Director of D-Link ANZ, Graeme Reardon, said “The new DSL-3785 Modem Router provides an affordable way for consumers to get connected to their NBN or UFB connections, whilst providing great performance. Using the latest MU-MIMO Wireless AC technology, the DSL-3875 provides an easy way to connect the Wi-Fi devices in your home to the Internet, and have a reliable, stable, Internet connection”.
The DSL-3785 uses the latest Wireless AC MU-MIMO technology, which provides a combined Wi-Fi speed of up to 1200Mbps and can simultaneously send streams of data to multiple compatible devices at once, speeding up the entire Wi-Fi network. The Router operates on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless bands concurrently using dual-band technology and internal antennas. This allows users to browse the web, chat and e-mail using the 2.4GHz band on a smartphone or tablet, while simultaneously streaming digital media, playing online games, or making Internet voice calls using the faster 5GHz band.
The DSL-3785 is backward compatible with existing 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b wireless equipment, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of both new and older Wi-Fi devices. In addition, it includes four Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting Ethernet-enabled PCs, printers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices, making the DSL-3785 an ideal choice for users wanting a versatile Wi-Fi modem router.
Availability and Pricing
The new DSL-3785 AC1200 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Gigabit VDSL2 / ADSL2+ Modem Router is available now from www.dlink.com.au for AUD$199.95, www.dlink.co.nz for NZ$229.99 and from all authorised D-Link retailers and resellers in Australia and New Zealand.

]]>Austrade and the Defence Department’s elite Defence Science Technology Group, have both suffered significant cyber infiltrations by hackers based in China, according to Four Corners.
Four Corners has claimed that Australian satellite company Newsat, which went into administration last year, was so comprehensively infiltrated that its entire network had to be rebuilt in secret.
The Prime Minister’s cyber security adviser, Alastair MacGibbon, told the program the Government is “attacked on a daily basis” but declined to elaborate. “We don’t talk about all the breaches that occur,” he said. ”
Former CIA chief Michael Hayden, a former US National Security Agency head, said Australia and the US should harden up their defences to protect their data.
A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Canberra denied China had conducted any cyber espionage against Australian interests, calling such allegations “totally groundless” and “false clichés”. “Like other countries, China suffers from serious cyber attacks and is one of the major victims of hacking attacks in the world,” he said.

]]>In Australia it is now “easily the largest software category, with revenue forecast to grow 20.6 percent to reach A$2.2 billion in 2018,” according to a new Gartner report.
It’s a similar story in New Zealand, Gartner says, with Kiwi-based CRM forecast to exceed NZ$200 million in 2018, up 19.5 percent from last year.
Globally, CRM software revenue amounted to US$39.5 billion in 2017, overtaking DBMS (database management system) revenue, which reached $36.8 billion in the same year, according to Gartner’s latest CRM report.
And, it seems, you ain’t see nothing yet. “In 2018, CRM software revenue will continue to take the lead of all software markets and be the fastest growing software market with a growth rate of 16 percent,” said Gartner research director Julian Poulter.
He added that the strong growth rate of CRM software revenue is driven in particular by the segments of lead management, voice of the customer and field service management, each of which is achieving more than 20 percent growth.

]]>It that rate continues, Australia can expect to see more than 500 breaches reported across Australia by the end of the year. But that number could rise significantly as more organisations come to grips with the new regime – and discover the huge penalties for not reporting.
The 63 reports, lodged with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) contrast with just 114 breaches reported in the entire 2016–17 financial year, when reporting was voluntary.
The numbers for the first six weeks of the new regime, which began on February 22, showed that health services providers were responsible for the single largest number of notifications (15), followed by businesses that supply “legal, accounting and management services”.
Organisations in the finance, education and not-for-profit sectors were also implicated.
However not all breaches were instigated by cyber criminals, the OIAC has revealed: human error in fact was listed as the most common cause.
“The majority of data breaches reported to the OAIC involved ‘contact information’, such as an individual’s name, e-mail address, home address or phone number,” the OAIC said. “This is distinct from ‘identity information’, which refers to information used to confirm an individual’s identity, such as driver licence numbers and passport numbers.”
However, some entities also reported data breaches that involved individuals’ tax file numbers, financial details, such as bank account or credit card numbers, and even health information.

]]>This follows a number of international data-sharing scandals, most recently the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica affair, which saw Facebook selling its users’ personal information to advertisers. That will be strictly prohibited under Australia’s new regime.
Legislation now being drawn up by government agencies will, among other things, include establishment of a “consumer data right” to which banking and telecoms outfits will have to adhere.
The strict new privacy protections will be enforced by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), according to Canberra reports.
Similar legislation, already under way in the UK, requires provision of “concise, intelligible and easily accessible” privacy notices, with people able to control how their data is organised. Fines of up to €20 million (A$32 million), or 4 per cent of global turnover, will be enforced for outfits that breach the UK provisions.
