Comment on Australian census website cracks after ‘malicious’ attack by hackersparent

Comments

It would almost certainly not be legal for them to host it on any servers owned by a private company. It's a national census, and they specifically are planning to store personally identifiable information for 4 years (imagine that I'm screaming the last sentence). Basically there's no way on earth it would be permitted for a government department to host the census collection on someone else's servers.
