The suggestion that Medibank should have considered paying rankled both Minister for Early Childhood Education Anne Aly and Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Dan Tehan.
on the table but the other question raised was why cyber hacks were suddenly becoming more prevalent. He then called for governments to properly compensate victims of cybercrime before attention turned to data capture and storage and Mr MacGibbon said less needed to be captured. Curtin University's Preofessor Joe Siracusa was animated on Q+A with his views on cyber criminals and Elon Musk.encouraged Americans to vote Republican at the US midterms
Oh no, paying to Ukrainian far-right neo-nazis is a legitimate option, but paying allegedly Russian hackers not so much... because you could accidentally pay to US's NSA/CIA
ABC have found the Catherine Bennett of cybersecurity.
Paying ransoms should be illegal. I was surprised it already wasn't.
Thought we lived in a secure country. Apparently not. So where has all the money and time spent on cybersecurity gone.?
Plenty of people in the cyber security industry disagree with MacGibbon. He also supported the weakening of cyber security throughout the country through mass surveillance, specifically the metadata retention bill and assist and access bill. Beware the so-called “experts”.
No way a random should be paid . Australia just needs to block Russia from our internet access & all this will go away . When I blocked Russia from my business computers Scam attempts dropped dramatically

Most definitely, paying a ransom is an option. If criminal gangs fail to keep their promises, they know they will never receive another ransom payment from anybody, anywhere, ever again. Simple logic. Some people should try thinking things thru before jumping to conclusions.

How about they pay for actual cyber security
No. It's not an option & hackers won't be paid any ransom amounts. Also, as with Optus hack, there are still 'too many eyes' involved & some of those eyes are deadly. Thus, it would be best for hackers, who call themselves 'REvil', to apologize to Aust & delete that data sooner.
