The Australian Government recently brought in data retention laws that oblige telecommunications companies to retain and secure a limited set of records for two years. It's a security measure, brought in to ensure that Australia’s law enforcement and security agencies are able to continue to have lawful access to metadata, subject to strict controls.

Adobe Flash Player is in trouble, too, with three zero-day hackings just discovered.
