<p id="reply-intro">Michael, I like your suggestion about hashed versions. It would have certainly saved some hassle.</p>
<p>For the last year and a half I have been working as a tutor in information security and at this point, would like to thank the nice folk at optus for allowing us to update some notes with a really good example of what NOT to do. I get that we went through this period where the terrorists would buy phones so we all had to be able to be tracked to prove we weren't one. But that was during a time when the value was in credit card information, not identify information. The public expects a certain level of professionalism and care to be taken with personal and sensitive information and especially with our identity information. For them to make the mistakes they have, in this day and age is just.... wrong.</p>

<div>Separately, should the government provide an opt in two factor ID verification service for critical services such as telco, utilities, banking, etc? There are privacy concerns, however if implemented correctly they wouldn't be collecting any further information than what they legally have access to now.</div>
