EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

The NSW Department of Education is investigating how a hacker might have used a senior executive's email account to send an unauthorised email to all staff last week. Stay tuned.

And 63 percent of iTnews readers are backing the introduction of mandatory data breach notification laws in Australia. The Attorney-General's call for comments on the proposal closes on November 23. We're always open to comments; drop us an email.

-- Liz Tay
