Following his investigation into the matter, the Privacy Commissioner concluded that: Telstra had breached NPP 2 by disclosing the personal information of some of its customers to unauthorised third parties Telstra was not in breach of NPP 4 as the Commissioner was satisfied that this incident occurred due to human error rather than any systemic failure of Telstra’s processes or procedures. While the Privacy Commissioner found Telstra had breached NPP 2, in light of the information provided and the steps taken by Telstra, he decided to cease the OAIC’s own motion investigation on the grounds that Telstra has adequately dealt with the matter. The investigation was closed on 16 May 2011. http://www.oaic.gov.au/publications/reports/own_motion_telstra_May_2011.html _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () datalossdb org) Archived at http://seclists.org/dataloss/ Unsubscribe at http://datalossdb.org/mailing_list Learn encryption strategies that manage risk and shore up compliance.
