The Australian government has been ordered to pay compensation to asylum seekers whose details were exposed in a data breach seven years ago.
The massive privacy breach relates to the mistaken release of a detention report on the department's website in 2014. Australia's privacy regulator found the report contained embedded personal details that could identify all persons held in mainland detention and on Christmas Island.
If only that's the only privacy breach...
