  • Featuring bullies in your “The Year That Made Me” segment is a terrible look, ABC.

    No one likes bullies. Don’t feature them.

  • Interesting and well considered

    For a while I thought of Sunday Extra as the little cousin to Saturday Extra, but through the choice of excellent and often left-field guests it has become my go to weekend choice. Great work Julian and team.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Data breach affects 275 million students
Q: How can institutions protect student privacy going forward?
Adopt governance-focused cybersecurity measures, implement zero-trust architectures, strengthen vendor management, ensure multi-factor authentication, and enforce strong, unique passwords with frequent updates.
Data breach affects 275 million students
Q: Is it likely that the ransom will be paid and what happens if it isn't?
Public discussions are cautious; law enforcement generally discourages ransom payments because it does not guarantee data deletion or restored systems, and attackers may still leak data even after payment.
Data breach affects 275 million students
Q: So Barkat, what's known about this data breach? How did it happen and how significant is it?
The breach affects 9,000 institutions and 275 million students, with extensive disruptions to access and submission of assignments, and a concern about future misuse of the stolen data, including phishing and targeted impersonation.
A history of typos across five centuries
Q: Where did the idea for this exhibition come from, Rachel?
Rachel explains that as editors and readers, she and her co-curator observed that mistakes creep into print, and errata slips illuminate how errors were acknowledged, corrected, and used for deflection, revealing historical practices around publishing.
What's in the Children’s Online Privacy Code?
Q: How does the code compare to other international frameworks like the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code, and what are its novel features?
The code aligns with international ideas but adds novel two-step consent including child assent, a requirement to notify when location tracking occurs, and higher default privacy protections at signup with choices to enable additional data collection, plus enforcement under existing powers of the Privacy Act.
