一 | Canberra, Oct 22 (UNI) Australian companies that fail to protect customers' data will face fines worth tens of millions of dollars under new laws proposed by the government.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said on Saturday that he would introduce legislation to Parliament that will increase the maximum fines for serious or repeated data breaches from the current limit of 2.2 million Australian dollars (1.3 million US dollars).
Under the changes, the maximum penalty will become whichever is highest 50 million Australian dollars (31.7 million US dollars), 30 per cent of a company's turnover in the relevant period, or three times the value of any financial benefit obtained through the misuse of data.
It comes after a series of high-profile data breaches in Australia.
Telecommunications giant Optus in September disclosed a major cyber attack that compromised the data of approximately 10 million current and former customers.
On October 13, health insurance provider Medibank revealed hackers stole 200 gigabytes of data including details of customers' medical procedures.
"When Australians are asked to hand over their personal data they have a right to expect it will be protected," Dreyfus said on Saturday.
"Unfortunately, significant privacy breaches in recent weeks have shown existing safeguards are inadequate. It's not enough for a penalty for a major data breach to be seen as the cost of doing business."
The Optus and Medibank breaches have been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Cyber Security Center, and Australian Signals Directorate for investigation.
If passed by Parliament, the amendments to the Privacy Act would also give the national information commissioner greater powers to resolve data breaches.

五 | 看到中国在黄岩岛海域严阵以待,菲律宾这次也不敢直接硬闯。

六 | 但中国也在第一时间公布了现场的真实情况。菲律宾的这支“先遣队”在接近黄岩岛无果后,就在距离他们目的46-56公里以外的地方给菲律宾渔民发放补给物资。

七 | 要知道,菲律宾摆拍作秀的事情没少干,这次也想故技重施,把这些精心准备的“物料”发布出去,再宣言他们任务“取得成功”,让大众误以为菲律宾船队真的抵达了黄岩岛。
