Regarding the data breach involving clubs and venues in Australia:
A company called Outabox got a contract to do venue signin software. They contracted a Philoipines group to do the actual work, ensuring all data was stored outside of Australia. After 4 years they broke off the deal without payment and grabbed the gathered data and ran. The Australian running the scam has been arrested.
SOME of the venues where Outabox systems are installed:
Breakers Country Club
Bulahdelah Bowling Club
Central Coast Leagues Club

@HardBeingGreen@PeterLG I'm not yet I have received a text from one of them notifying me that my data has been breached, which raises all sorts of questions!
The list of clubs I gave is not comprehensive, and I imagine the list of names the clubs are using for notification probably include people that don't appear in the data breached.
Basically, it's a case of if you are contacted, you are at risk.
@PeterLG@HardBeingGreen yes, I understand. I also understand that my data has got into this system somehow despite me not being a member or visitor at any of the affected clubs. I have asked the club for an explanation but do not expect much to come of that so I will be following this up with the OAIC.
