ASIC seeks power to read your emails, texts

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission has called for sweeping powers so it can access phone call and internet data for its war on white-collar crime.

Not only does the authority want the powers to intercept the times, dates and details of telecommunications information; it also wants to access the contents of emails, social media chats and text messages.

This is more power than the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation have sought to assist the crime agencies in investigating terrorism and murder suspects.

A parliamentary inquiry has been set up to examine controversial proposals to force telecommunication companies to store details about every Australian's phone and internet use for up to two years. Some of that information, including telephone logs, could then be subject to law enforcement agencies with a warrant. Other information could be accessed without a warrant.

Currently, it is up to telcos to determine how long they store that information.

A discussion paper put out by the Attorney-General's department stresses that the government only wanted so-called metadata – which includes times, locations and durations of phone and internet communication – stored by the telcos.

But ASIC commissioner Greg Tanzer told a parliamentary inquiry in Sydney today ASIC wanted the contents of communications stored, too. "We want both," he told the inquiry.

Majority Of Australians Willing To Use Retinal Scans At Banks

October 8, 2012

The days of having to carry a piece of plastic and remembering a PIN number to access your money could become a thing of the past.

ANZ this week unveiled research which showed a majority of people would be comfortable using retina or fingerprint scanning technology at ATMs instead of PIN numbers.

Carried out by Newspoll for ANZ, the research also revealed Australians were increasingly embracing digital banking, but still wanted face-to-face interaction for “big ticket” items like applying for a loan.

The release of the survey coincided with ANZ unveiling plans to invest $1.5 billion over the next five years in new technologies, including the rollout of 800 “next generation” automatic teller machines and installing video-conferencing in regional branches.......

While the Newspoll study found people would be comfortable with some form of biometric identification, futurist Ross Dawson went one step further.

He suggested this type of technology could replace cash entirely.

"Cash and coins could be on the way out and it's realistic to imagine a world in which we carry no notes or coins, or even credit or debit cards," Mr Dawson said.

"Before long we may use our fingerprints or even retina scans to make payments.

"Australians have shown they are comfortable with biometric identification, because it combines convenience with security."

More than a third of people surveyed said they would prefer to live in a cashless society.

The ANZ spokesman said a move to biometric identification was at least five to 10 years away.

He said ANZ went into the research thinking most people would not be interested in biometric technology and was "quite surprised" when the results came back.

ANZ plans to carry out further research to assess risk implications associated with such a move and to find a biometric identification system people were most comfortable with.

THE SURVEY

• 88% of people aged 18-34 prefer to use digital technology over a bank branch for day-to-day transactions, but their mums and dads weren't far behind at 75%.
• 38% would prefer to live in a world where they didn't need to carry cash.
• 40% even accepted the idea of one day outsourcing their finances to a digital personal assistant - an intelligent computer program which makes financial decisions and moves money between accounts on your behalf.
• 67% would be comfortable using a machine that scans your eye to verify identification in place of a pin.
• 79% would be comfortable using fingerprint technology in place of a pin.

Until privacy laws protect us, every move will be watched

October 8, 2012

Governments should do more to ensure we can mind our own business.

YOU might think you're going about your day minding your own business, but people are watching. They are not just watching you, they are watching all of us, creating, as David Vaile, the Australian Privacy Foundation vice-chairman describes it, a ''honey pot'' of data open to potential abuse.

Have a think about how our privacy can be invaded in the course of a normal day. We get up in the morning, log on to our favourite website to check news and weather; our IP provider has a record. Check Facebook and ''like'' something, go to eBay and buy something; information and ''profiles are being created''. Head to the train station, use your myki card. The card contains personal information, and if registered, could show banking and travel details. These could be shared with police as well as transport authorities and the company running the system.
Walk down the street and the CCTV cameras capture your image. Use your mobile phone, the network records the closest "line of sight" tower. In the lunch break, you go to a department store and use a loyalty card which contains personal details. The information on the card might be shared with marketing and data analysts, call and direct mail centres.

In the evening, you drive to a nightclub. If you travel on the toll-way, that information is recorded. At the door of the club, CCTV footage again. Your driver's licence is scanned by a bouncer using biometric technology. It's to prevent entry of banned patrons, but it is reported that the data may also be used to provide demographic information. After the nightclub, you visit Facebook and share the details of the great night you have had. After a few drinks, be careful of the settings. You have just, maybe unwittingly, shared your night with the world, including Facebook Inc, its partners, advertisers and associated web developers.

Privacy law reform has long been on the Australian legal profession's agenda.

The Law Institute of Victoria, in a 2009 submission to the Victorian Law Reform Commission's inquiry into surveillance in public areas, argued that state laws need reform to provide more comprehensive and contemporary regulation of surveillance practices; an independent body should be established to regulate such laws; and, there should be a statutory cause of action for invasion of privacy.

The government is yet to respond - slow by normal standards, slower still when measured against the warp speed of advances in information technology.

Yeh but it gets forced on everyone else too.

At least once the infrastructure is in place, there will be more than just an idea to destroy.

But what about democracy?

Why do you hate freedom?

It is easy to blame the punters but you have to give them some leeway. People are trained from a young age to adhere to authority. It is only by the time they are into mid adulthood that they may get the time/ opportunity to read outside prescribed texts and think for themselves. By then they are usually weighed down by kids and a mortgage and are just happy to "get by" the best they can.

I don't agree with all this dude's positions, but he does make some good vids.

SPY agency ASIO wants to hack into Australians' personal computers and commandeer their smartphones to transmit viruses to terrorists.

The Attorney-General's Department is pushing for new powers for the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to hijack the computers of suspected terrorists.

But privacy groups are attacking the ''police state'' plan as ''extraordinarily broad and intrusive''.

A spokesman for the Attorney-General's Department said it was proposing that ASIO be authorised to ''use a third party computer for the specific purpose of gaining access to a target computer''.

''The purpose of this power is to allow ASIO to access the computer of suspected terrorists and other security interests,'' he told News Limited.
