You only need to pick up the newspaper or watch Tamara on the 7 pm news to see how much coverage recent cyber attacks in Australia have received.  It is easy to pass judgement that hackers are more cunning. Or is something else at play?  Here's the thing, you've walked past desks with post-its taped to the monitor. How often is that post-it note a colleague's password? It's astonishing that this still happens in offices ...

“Um…well…that’s interesting. The room falls silent. Shock. Did that happen? You thought it was the most wonderful time of the year. Or it was when you walked into the room. But there is always one joker in your team that thinks their gift is hilarious.  While everyone around you is opening up thoughtful gifts like the latest Jamie Oliver cookbook… a pair of scotch glasses, or some Happy Socks…. you're staring at some tea towels. ...

The local council had filled the potholes, only for them to fall apart again. But truthfully, the roads are hidden obstacle courses currently.
