IRD give private information to META?
My daughter has always been fanatical about privacy and in her younger days knew a very high-up person in the Microsoft world who told her 20+ years ago, not to give her private data to the world, as in years to come it will be used for all sorts of unknown purposes.
She followed this advice right through and you can imagine her anger when she received a letter from the IRD saying "Oops, sorry we gave all your personal data to Meta" (Not account Nos)
Paraphrased- "It was a simple mistake as we were asking Meta to solve a problem we had and sent yours plus other details to them by mistake"
Sorry.
Surly this can not be the end of such a critical personal data breach.
Any ideas?
For a bit of fun, neighbours.
Have a good think about it, and let us know...
If you could invent one piece of technology to make life easier, what would it be?

Caution around driveways
Police are asking people to pay extra attention to driveway safety, after a number of incidents recently involving children being harmed.
Driveways can be extremely dangerous, and people need to do everything they can to ensure they keep themselves and others safe, especially where children are present.
Children move around quickly, and often won’t be seen as you are reversing down your driveway.
Always check your driveway before driving in or out, and make sure you know the whereabouts of any children.
Please use your reversing camera if your vehicle has one installed.
Alternatively, ensure all children not in the vehicle with you are accounted for.
If another adult is at the property, make them responsible for ensuring children are well clear of any moving vehicles.
If there are no other adults present, have a ‘safe spot’ for children to stand and wait for the vehicle to stop moving.
This should be somewhere in view of the driver.
Check your blind spots often, and if you can no longer see a child, stop your vehicle and move them somewhere safe before you continue driving.
If your driveway is close to the children’s play area, consider a fence or gates to separate the play area from the driveway.
You should also take the time to speak to your children about the dangers of moving vehicles and remind them that just because they can see the driver, doesn’t mean the driver can always see them.
Taking those extra few seconds to make sure our tamariki are in a safe space when you drive in and out of your driveway can help prevent so much heartache and trauma.
Remember they don’t understand the potential consequences.
