Minister says census online form outage was not an attack or hack.
ROFL. They should announce a snap royal commission to be lead by a retired former director of the abs
hacking =/= DDoS.Head abs statistician told ABC this morning it was a ddos attack
THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE MAN
Did anyone actually expect it to work?

Hilarious. More than likely the NOC and SOC monitoring the networks saw a shitload of data coming in and just assumed that it was a DDOS because they hadn’t seen those sort of traffic figures in the past. Wouldn’t be the first time that the left hand didn’t tell the right hand what was going on.

“Apparently half way through the evening, the routing changed also … it originally went Telstra > IBM > Census servers … then by 7pm it went telstra > CEnsus servers (literally a network engineer running a bit of fibre across a DC floor to bypass IBM’s overloaded links / routers).”
So the story goes. Basic level ■■■■-up.
All i want to know is does this thing have ‘gate’ status yet?
Perhaps ‘gateway’ status would be more appropriate in this instance.

Who should own the ■■■■ up? Is it a perfect storm of in competence?

Still works better than the ticketing system for the footy.
Government Deartments are supposed to identify outsourcing for Senate Estimates purposes. A while back a Department partially engaged a so-called IT expert company to manage peak loads. The trouble was the Company sent in inexperienced juniors and the departmental IT expert staff spent all their time training them. Don’t always blame the public servants, who inevitably get crucified at Estimates.
