[Year 12 IT Apps] Protecting your customers data from Australia Post

[timmer at westnet.com.au]

Although speaking about licking and encryption, on a snippet of the
Antiques Road Show I caught before the news the other day, soldiers
during the war (WW1 I think) stuck their stamps onto postcards at odd
angles in order to send secret messages to loved ones back home.
Except for an address, the postcards were often otherwise blank.

I hear that some postcards are actually delivered in plain text with
absolutely no encryption. Talk about blind faith!  
If you turn the letter around and hold it up to the light, it would
not be far fetched to reconstruct most of the path that the packet
took to get to you and even make a good stab at the identity of the
sender and their posting origin. Kids reckon I could even make a near
perfect copy of biometric information embedded in the security seal, I
don’t think we have that technology licked yet.

 Curse them! From now on I will refuse to add the recipient's name or
address when posting a letter. 
 That will teach Aust Post to mind its own business.

	That's a nice summary of the law. Thanks for that. 

	  

	BTW - I read the title "Protecting your customers data from Australia
Post" and kept wondering what terrible things Australia Post was doing
with your customers' data... 

	  

	:-)
