EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

A security consultant who quietly informed his superannuation fund of a web vulnerability has been slapped with a legal threat and may be forced to pay for fixing the flaw.

We also bring you details of the Department of Parliamentary Services' $7 million CCTV upgrade. New, high-definition cameras are running on an interim network that may leave them vulnerable to hackers.

-- Liz Tay
