Smashing mice for security
On this week's Technolatte podcast, the Australian team looks at the so-called skills shortage, the trials and tribulations of E-tax, and the sorry tale of one US government department's IT security measures.
Podcast
Why is Australia so divided over whether there is an IT skills shortage? How did IBM and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) fail to make E-tax online happen in 2007? And how did one US government department spend AU$2.7 million to destroy IT equipment, including mice?
On this week's Technolatte podcast, the Australian team discusses:
The perceived IT skills shortage in Australia
The ATO and IBM's failed attempt to bring E-tax online back in 2007
How one US government agency spent AU$2.7 million destroying its own IT equipment.
