Australian government is forcing tax payers who use the ATO to lodge online to register with the DHS MyGov system. MyGov will include Child Support, Centrelink, Medicare and other major government departments. This means that if an Australian MyGov account is hacked they get everything. Tax file number. Child support information. Bank account information. Medical records. Lots of data.Recently MyGov was shown to have serious security flaws. Exposure of gigabytes of user data. Many people refuse to have their medical information stored in the PEHCR linked to MyGov.The takeup has not been as much as the government expected.
