Weekly Update 462

This will be the title of the blog post: "Court Injunctions are the Thoughts and Prayers of Data Breach Response". It's got a nice ring to it, and it resonates so much with the response to other disasters where the term is offered as a platitude that has absolutely no practical benefit at all. You know, like the Qantas injunction to prevent data from their breach being examined by other parties. So, whilst it means journos won't be poring over it (and we won't be loading it into HIBP), criminals will pay no attention to it whatsoever. More to come in the forthcoming blog post.

  2. Qantas was granted an injunction in the wake of their data breach... (which has absolutely no effect whatsoever on criminals who want to do crime with the data)
