EARLY EDITION

Editor's Note

Good morning,

This bumper budget edition of iTnews brings you all the tech in the Coalition's final budget before the next federal election.

In good news for privacy advocates, the OAIC has scored a last minute reprieve, while Defence execs can't be too happy about losing a big pile of cash to the government's cyber security strategy.

In less good news for the wider population, the NBN is about to run out of money, and the company is scrambling to find funding from the private sector.

- Allie Coyne

	iTnews.com.au @iTnews_au	Gumtree needs to take privacy more seriously: [Blog post] Or should we just get used to our data being public? https://t.co/YHFJD1NJRI

	Oscar Cao @oscarcao	@iTnews_au @AdamFowler_IT we need to embrace this kind of sharing. I've shared my data with so many sites. It's not really private anymore.

	Adam Fowler @AdamFowler_IT	@oscarcao @iTnews_au Your data has been leaked so many times, there's no way to consider it private.

	Oscar Cao @oscarcao	@AdamFowler_IT @iTnews_au some sites leaked it. While others shared it publicly like my domain registrar.

	Oscar Cao @oscarcao	@AdamFowler_IT @iTnews_au who knows. But as for the Gumtree leak. I'm not fussed. I already get tons of spam. A few more won't hurt.

	Mark Cohen @markc	Hey @nxdnz these guys are having fun at your expense https://t.co/tJyyJ4F3Ej - images are serving from https://t.co/HdeFAD7EIV

	Nigel Dalton @nxdnz	Thanks @markc - they're an old plague on the industry, with a new trick every 6 months. Cheeky that one though!

	Mark Cohen @markc	@nxdnz yeah they were doing it to us too. We used Akamai to redirect their requests to our logo :)
