http://www.smh.com.au/technology/security/how-security-chiefs-bank-details-leaked-20110516-1eopz.html By Ben Grubb The Sydney Morning Herald May 16, 2011 Security firm Symantec's Australian chief has revealed how his personal credit card details were leaked by a Melbourne restaurant, which he said highlighted the need for mandatory privacy breach notification laws. The security chief, Craig Scroggie, told of his experience at a Symantec roundtable discussion in Sydney last week which revealed the average cost of a data breach to Australian companies was $2 million. He said the government should implement Australian Law Reform Commissioner (ALRC) recommendations requiring companies to notify customers when a data breach has occurred, but raised questions over how it could be enforced. Such laws would require an organisation to notify individuals if, for example, their username, password or credit card details had been breached by a hacker. The government has been criticised for failing to implement these laws despite sitting on recommendations for them since 2008.
