Tenth Annual AusCERT Conference Kicks Off

Posted by samzenpus on from the gentlemen-start-your-computers dept.

lukehopewell1 writes "The tenth annual AusCERT (Australian Computer Emergency Response Team) conference kicks off today in Queensland, Australia, touting appearances from Microsoft, Telstra, Rio Tinto and the founder of Kaspersky Labs, Eugene Kaspersky. You can watch a video wrap-up of AusCERT conferences in the years gone by, complete with laughs, interviews, old-timey newscasts and that time IBM gave out USB drives laden with malware."

    Do they do anything useful? I've contacted these guys multiple times about large-scale break-ins on systems holding plenty of personal information, but no response.

      Hey! Be reasonable... how can they have time to do work when they have so many conferences to attend?

    I'm completely dumbfounded I can't even think of anything rude to say.

    I'm more talking about being called a bunch of crims discarded from the England elite

    I can't imagine an Australian being the least bit offended by that.

    Think Ashes

    Being reminded of an Ashes will likely rankle though.
