I love this bit
Superintendent Wilson said the Authority wanted to stress the event “was not related in any way to information held securely in its systems” but rather a result of human error.
And whom does he think will administer the system ?
Saw that and posted the link in a different thread. As I said then, “fuck me dead”.
Just when I was starting to feel safe....
( We really need a sarcasm emoji)
Surprise of the century.
This is a super easy fix.
David Seymour if you’re listening.
Please ensure Superintendent Wilson, and any politicians supporting this bill are given new jobs working security.
They can stand guard 24/7 in shift, out front of the exposed FAL holders houses to protect their families from gang related firearm thefts.
To be honest I am surprised they got a whole month in before making a f**k up.
They probably don’t know about the BCC function
It’s worrying as I’ll soon be forced to register due to triggering event
Well slap my ass and call me charlie.....
the smelly stuff is rapidly decending towards the rapidly rotating whirly thing........
Doesn't really matter though does it. The point is that it was leaked, how it happened is irrelevant.
Once again our personal information is now potentionally in the hands of criminals.
I wonder if someone has looked into taking a civil case against them for breach of the privacy act?? I suppose you would stumble with the intent aspect of that.
This has to stop though, its bullshit that it keeps on happeneing and we keep on getting piss weak excuses.
Over it. What a bunch of wallies.
I worked for the govt for nearly two decades. The system is only as good as the lowest common denominator, or, the least competent person in the job or in charge or personally identifying information.
This is especially disappointing given the updated privacy act 2020 AND the potential impactions of the privacy details leaked in a new government entity.
Yeah this is going to be a cluster fuck of mega proportions!
Someone and their families may even end up seriously hurt!
If a a home invasion happens due to this………..sorry human error:wtfsmilie: dose not imo cover it…….but I’m sure that will all come out in the official enquiry of the event that will then be redacted and then buried under a 70y secrecy act! Just so the bums at the top are still covered!
Mean while the cops on the front line keep getting the bad rap!
On that note it was interesting that they only two pics in the article only showed some rifles and a building.
No photo of statement giver……lol bum covering is at maximum already :XD:
FFS that didn’t take long. The human factor is always going to be the weak link & one that can NEVER be fixed. No matter how many “assurances “ and weasel words are spewed forth by police HQ, Cahill and politicians. And a massive waste of tax $$
To be fair DOC did this recently for me and some others. Sooner or later human error kicks in.
That's why data loss prevention software is common to warn on emails being sent with specific content - a handy reminder to check at least.
Always a good idea to have a fairly generic email address so you're not disclosing too much if it ends up on a list.
It's not the first. The first was during the confiscation. The second was files left at central police station.
yup DLP is key, many many government agencies have learned this lesson the hardware with cc emails. Shit like this is 101 especially when there are 250000 LFO all waiting for you to make a mistake. But I have said in the past the cops never get enough budget for a full roll of toilet paper.
Lol and on top of it, this is probably also an "activation event" for the recipients.
Very apt pic Viper it would be funny if it was put so tragic, when the police say “we only leaked to other licence holders so no worries”,
Do they forgot about all the 501s and patched gang members they gave licences to?
Well they are off to a bloody good start arent they-makes you wonder if they themselves are "fit and proper "or "responsible" to hold the information.
13 SEPTEMBER 2019
Tighter gun laws for the safety of all
Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern
Hon Stuart Nash
Prime Minister
Police
The Government is taking steps to ensure gun ownership is restricted to responsible users, and to stop the flow of guns into the black market as legislation is introduced to Parliament today, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says.
Hmmm , I’m sitting on the fence like many others and watching , this is shit is not a confidence booster I have to say ……
"The newly created Firearms Safety Authority has found themselves in the gun after another inadvertent leak of the details of Auckland firearms owners.
In an email sent shortly after noon on Wednesday, seen by the Herald, Auckland Central Police District firearms staff emailed more than 100 gun owners to warn them their listed firearms licence address may not be up to date.
Their email addresses, in many cases including their first and last names, were visible in the cc field, rather than hidden in the bcc section."
The "leak" was inevitable when human error is an element.
To be fair if you don't already have at least one email address that doesn't give your first name and surname (and employers name) you should.
You shouldn't use an email address that identifies you so easily.
I have my own internet domain and have many different email addresses from that.
Example nzhs@<my domain>.<suffix>.nz
If I get spam from this address I'd know the leak was from here.
Security starts with yourself and then anyone or any organisation that you give your details to.
That allows me to track spam - if it comes with a specific email address I know where the leak of the address came from.
That is far too much admin for a lazy old bugger. Just the one Rushy@whogivesashit.now email address work for me. Ha hahaha
Why would anyone register their firearms now? Bugger that, I’ll be the last in the cue thanks. Might be a long cue I think.
Does anyone know how long the Canadian registration system was in force before they canned it?
Slightly off topic but....I recently sold a firearm. The section of the form I had to fill in to give to the buyer (to give to the police) required my name, address, phone number, email address and firearms license number. This was all done online. I asked if I could give this direct to the police but that was not an option apparently.
So I have just given these details to a total stranger. How the hell can that be a safe??? How do I, or the police, or anyone else know that person can be trusted with that information???? They could pass them on to anyone! On top of that I now have all of their details (name, FAL number etc).
