So, Trump is (soon to be) president. Meanwhile, in Australia, a man may be fined for using a drone to get a sausage for a mate. A man who only wants to be known as "Tim" has admitted he was part of a team that flew a drone to pick up a sausage from Bunnings and deliver it to a friend waiting in an outdoor spa in Sunbury.
Speaking of drones, GoPro's new Karma has been recalled. GoPro is committed to providing our customers with great product experiences. To honor this commitment, we have recalled Karma until we resolve a performance issue related to a loss of power during operation. We plan to resume shipment of Karma once the issue is addressed.
New proposed legislation brings a national security twist to telco operations. Telcos will similarly be required to inform the department about any changes they plan to make to their systems or services that could have a "material adverse impact" on their obligation to secure their networks. Types of changes the government says it should be notified about include outsourcing or offshoring sensitive parts of a network, buying kit or services for a sensitive part of a network, and changes to the management of services.
On a related note, Australia now has a cyber ambassador. Infosec academic and policy advisor Dr Tobias Feakin will become Australia’s first cyber ambassador, filling a diplomatic role created by the government’s April cyber security strategy. Feakin's appointment makes him a key counterpart to the Prime Minister’s special adviser on cybersecurity, Alastair MacGibbon, leading international efforts to stamp out cyber crime.
