EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Today Liam Tung looks at the Epsilon hack through the prism of Australia's inaction on data breach disclosure laws.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for your continued support of our efforts at iTnews. Tonight we're getting suited and frocked up for the MediaConnect Awards after our journalists were named as finalists in a record number of categories. Best of luck to our writers Ry Crozier, Liz Tay, John Hilvert and David Havyatt.

We're always keen for feedback about our coverage.
