Manage My Health hack: New Zealand’s worst cybersecurity incidents
…want basic bank card service?
You’ll need to pay surcharges…
Government to ban card payment surcharges, businesses to pick up the tab
…in each case, convenience has trumped security.
These are the scams of security illusion in modern life.
Local media and community noticeboards have been bastardised into easily hacked sites like Neighbourly with more of a focus on cheap interaction for meta data than secure communication.
You can’t interact with public health without being required to enrol online as the Government first slash staff to force you online and then cut back on IT staff once you are online.
Banks surcharges have been added to contactless payments because Banks created an easily exploited card system up to $200 that is open for stealing and yet they make YOU pay?
The convenience of online has been sold to us as safe when the investment into that security is either lumped with you as in banks card surcharges or the price paid once your information gets hacked.
