"澳式廉洁"再惹祸! Government Private Mobile No. Leaked To The Public...

Ladies and 乡亲们......

话说，澳洲又出乌龙事件：大批联邦政府官员，包括澳大利亚前总理和其他政府要员的私人手机号统统被泄露了......

咋会这样呢？还不是因为澳大利亚国会服务部粗心大意，没将这些手机号妥当删除就把各位政府大人的电话账单PO到网上了！

The private mobile phone numbers of hundreds of federal politicians, former prime ministers and senior political staffers have been inadvertently published online in an embarrassing blunder by a government department.

The Department of Parliamentary Services failed to properly delete the numbers before it published the most recent round of politicians' phone bills on the Parliament House website, potentially compromising the privacy and security of MPs from cabinet ministers down.

While in previous years the numbers were taken out of the PDF documents altogether, this time it appears the font was merely turned white-meaning they could still be accessed using copy and paste.

比如，如果你想打电话跟

Bill Shorten大谈人生理想......

他的电话在这里！

For example, if you want to speak to Bill Shorten, the Opposition Leader, in person, please simply go...

Oh yeah...that's his mobile number!

澳大利亚前总理Julia Gillard、John Howard和Paul Keating的手机号也遭泄露！只有澳大利亚总理Malcolm Turnbull、财政部长Scott Morrison、司法部长George Brandis等人幸免于此。

Apart from Bill Shorten and his staffers, cabinet ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, Christopher Pyne, Mitch Fifield and Christian Porter were among those compromised. Greens leader Richard Di Natale and other minor party leaders also had their contact information published. Retired MPs including former Liberal ministers Andrew Robb and Jamie Briggs have also had their contact details released.

Former prime ministers including Julia Gillard, John Howard and Paul Keating have also had their numbers released.

The numbers-for all MPs who served between January and June last year, before the July election-were easily and publicly accessible on the website for more than three months.

The only numbers absent were those of the very top cabinet ministers including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Treasurer Scott Morrison, Attorney-General George Brandis and a handful of others.

The department has blamed a private contractor, TELCO Management, for the stuff-up. "In the most recent report provided by the contractor, it became possible to view the official mobile phone number of parliamentarians and their staff even though they appeared redacted from the published files," a spokesperson said.

"The DPS removed the documents from the APH website shortly after it was alerted to the issue and is working with the contractor to investigate the cause. The DPS will work with parliamentarians to address privacy concerns and change mobile numbers if required."

Cyber security expert Greg Austin said the breach could help foreign powers with intelligence gathering. "I wouldn't see it necessarily as leading directly to significant exposure," said Professor Austin, from the Australian Centre for Cyber Security at UNSW. "But this sort of data can form part of an intelligence picture for foreign intelligence agencies and can be used in a number of ways after that. Knowing the private phone numbers of these people also helps foreign intelligence agencies form a view of who is talking to who. So it's not good."

The phone records are published every six months, to show how much politicians and their staff are spending on calls.

TELCO Management has been contacted for comment. Tender documents show the department paid TELCO $20,350 last year for "provision of telecommunications invoice reconciliation systems".

澳大利亚联邦政府官员的手机账单每六个月会在相关网站公开一次，以便让吃瓜群众们没事八卦八卦......或许这次有点可爱的乌龙事件就是“澳式廉洁”惹的祸嘿~！
