Australia's Federal Court has ordered that five websites be blocked from access in Australia. The Federal Court has ordered internet companies to block five copyright-infringing websites, including torrent website The Pirate Bay. Internet companies now have 15 business days to implement the blocks. The Federal Court has allowed internet service providers (ISPs) to choose the method of blocking.
The ATO has suffered a major data storage failure, although early reports of 1PB of lost data have been rebuffed. The ATO started experiencing problems on Monday, after both its primary and back-up storage systems crashed. As a result, data was corrupted and after lengthy troubleshooting had to be restored from other back-up sources.
Yahoo meanwhile have disclosed that one billion user accounts have had their details leaked in August 2013.

The company recently launched a trial in Cambridge, England -- and on December 7th, Amazon completed its first drone-powered delivery. It took 13 minutes from order to delivery, with the drone departing a custom-built fulfillment center nearby.
