Weekly Wrap 346: Sliding into 2017, finally

My week of Monday 9 to Sunday 15 January 2017 saw my first media output for the new year, but it was still a slow start.

I’m way behind schedule. This is the first of three Weekly Wraps that I need to power through today. So I’ll stick to the basic information, and maybe some photographs from previous years.

Media Appearances

On Thursday I spoke about a Victorian MP’s website being hacked on ABC Radio Melbourne.
One of my photos, a pic of onesies for sale in Sydney’s Paddy’s Markets, has been used on a Japanese travel site.
My photo Canberra, with Chemtrails was added to the Flickr gallery Australia under SRM attack!. This pleases me.

Articles, Podcasts, Corporate Largesse

None.

Talking Victorian MP website hack on ABC Radio Melbourne

Screenshot of Tunisian Fallage Team defacement ABC logo “Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas’ website hacked by Tunisian Islamists” was the headline on the Herald Sun story today. Yes, the Tunisian Fallage Team had taken credit for the defacement.

This afternoon I put this into context with presenter Warwick Long on ABC Radio Melbourne, formerly ABC 774 Melbourne.

Weekly Wrap 345: Delaying the inevitable start to 2017

My week of Monday 2 to Sunday 8 January 2017 was slow, just like the previous week. There shall be no details.

None this week either, although I did start writing a column for ZDNet that’ll be posted on Monday.

The Week Ahead

It’s my first proper work week of 2017, so it’ll start on Monday with some planning and scheduling and administrivia, as well as finishing that ZDNet column. The rest of the week will unfold as it should. Let’s not be too ambitious, OK?

Beyond That

The next episode of The 9pm Edict podcast is currently scheduled for ~~Tuesday 17~~ Thursday 19 January at 2100 AEDT. It’ll be streamed live from stilgherrian.com/edict/live/, and the tentative title is “The 9pm End of the World, Probably”.

I’ll be covering the RSA Information Security Conference in San Francisco on 13 to 16 February; the APRICOT 2017 / APNIC43 conference in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, at the end of February and into early March; and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) conference in Canberra on 14 to 16 March.

Update 16 January 2017: Edited to reflect change to podcast recording schedule.

Weekly Wrap 343: Death and Christmas

Exeter Hotel, Rundle Street, Adelaide: click to embiggen

My week of Monday 19 to Sunday 25 December 2016 was one of my more unusual weeks in 2016, and that’s saying something.

Talking civil use of metadata on ABC 105.7 Darwin

ABC logo When mandatory telecommunications data retention legislation was first introduced — the so-called “metadata” retention laws — Australia’s favourite Attorney-General Senator George Brandis QC stressed that it wouldn’t be used for civil proceedings. Guess what just happened?

On Tuesday, Brandis’ office announced a review of the laws to see whether retained metadata could be used — wait for it — in civil proceedings.

On Wednesday I wrote about this in a ZDNet column titled Brandis rushes to release telco metadata for civil proceedings.

And on Wednesday afternoon I spoke about it with Kate O’Toole on ABC 105.7 Darwin. Here’s that conversation.
