Who saw this coming? Certainly not the Australian Bureau of Statistics
who spent census day (Tuesday August 9) reassuring Australians how safe
their data will be, only to have most of the census data fail to reach
their system.
"It was an attack, and we believe from overseas," chief statistician David Kalisch told ABC radio on Wednesday.
"It was quite clear it was malicious."
The site was targeted by four denial of service (DoS) attacks, he told the ABC.
Interesting, because no DoS activity was detected in Australia on Tuesday August 9.
On Wednesday August 10 the Digital Attack Map still shows no DoS activity for Australia.
The Bureau of Meteorology Hack
Less than a year ago China was blamed for a massive hack on the Aussie weather bureau.
The thing is, government agencies like the Signals Directorate and the
Australian Cyber Security Centre are not able to trace where these
attacks are coming from and are unable to prove who is behind them.
Doesn't this make David Kalisch's assurances about the security of
personal data harvested by the ABS, including names and addresses, just a
lot of hot air?
Kalisch can't name whoever carried out the census night attack on the
ABS computers so how can he claim our data is safe if most of it got
lost in cyberspace between our homes and his computers?
The ABS Are Chronic Liars
This interesting article tracks the lies the ABS has been telling the Australian public. This is a department that is unsupervised and out of control.
The largest slave trading nation Britain used slave traders to transport 85,000 convict slaves to lutruwita. Then they carried-out genocide of the Aboriginal people. Today every adult Tasmanian is represented by 21 parliamentarians. The state is a bankrupt, colonialist basket case.

We Can Do Better Than Paywall Mainstream Media
Today the World is crippled by debt. Many countries are dictatorships. Corrupt corporations got rich destroying the Earth's climate. Many economies are now unstable. Our current role is exposing Australia's corrupt, self-serving media.
