Dear Australian Taxation Office,

Ive been informed of a recent large-scale breach of security at the tax office whereby large volumes of sensitive taxpayer data have been stored on unrestricted 'share drives' without appropriate access or audit controls.

I'm requesting the recent email sent from Smarter Data to all Smarter Data staff on this issue.

I also request documents showing this issue has been fixed or if it has not been fixed documents showing what measures are being undertaken to fix this issue.

I also request any documents put to the Executive or Smarter Data senior management where in this problem is identified and/or explained.

I also request any documents put to external agencies such as the Privacy or Information Commissioners' officers in respect of this issue.

Yours faithfully,

Bob Alice
