"A suite of recent cybersecurity data breaches highlight an urgent need to
overhaul how companies and government agencies handle our data. But these
incidents pose particular risks to victim-survivors of domestic violence.

In fact, authorities across Australia and the United Kingdom are raising
concerns about how privacy breaches have endangered these customers.

The onus is on service providers – such as utilities, telcos, internet
companies and government agencies – to ensure they don’t risk the safety of
their most vulnerable customers by being careless with their data."
