Sometimes by the time a case is resolved, I’ve forgotten what it was. I’m old, I forget. Thankfully, I can check the archives of this site to see if I had covered it before. Happily for me, I had covered this one, which involved TeleChoice somewhat stunningly leaving consumers’ personal information in a shipping container on publicly accessible land. Allie Coyne reports that the company now has to fork over some money in addition to the corrective action plan it signed in 2015:
Telstra wholesale provider TeleChoice has been ordered by the Privacy Commissioner to pay $7000 in compensation to two customers who were affected by its 2014 data breach.
Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim today published his findings on two separate complaints made by customers in May and June last year after it was revealed by A Current Affair that TeleChoice was storing sensitive customer data in publicly accessible shipping containers in Victoria.
The documents contained personal details of former TeleChoice customers, including passport details, driver’s licenses, customer contracts and other identifying data.

I wouldn’t worry about the old factor. You post A LOT of data breaches on here. It’s pretty easy to possibly forget 2 or 1 or 5 . 🙂
” I’m old, I forget”
Something tells me your not as old as I think.
You’re a technology user, so your better off than most.
You might be the age of the baby boomers, but something tells me your a weee bit younger than that =)
Some days I’m older than others. 🙂
As for the coffee fix we all need, I suggest you try the “gold coast” brand coffee from that star coffee shop. Use about two-thirds of what you normally use. Let the spouse know that as well. That stuff is an eye-opener for sure.
A lower octane is the “breakfast blend” which is a tad more stout than Folgers “dark silk”. All three will make your mind say……WOW.
