Multiple sources are reporting on the data breach that saw the private information of 10,000 asylum seekers made public online. This comes only weeks before new privacy laws take affect on March 12, 2014. Under the new laws serious and repeated interferences with privacy could attract fines up to $1.7 million for private and public organisations, and $340,000 for individuals.
