Troy Hunt's weekly update covers the Origin Energy data breach in Australia, examining the multi-party dynamics: the company downplaying the severity, the hacker claiming responsible disclosure was ignored, and a reported agreement between the two parties. Hunt draws parallels to previous major Australian breaches (Optus, Medibank, Latitude, Ticketek, Qantas) and warns that any agreement or data deletion promise offers no real guarantee the stolen data won't eventually leak.
