AU: Police risk computer meltdown

Victoria’s Police’s information system is so overwhelmed, underfunded and underprotected it risks a massive loss of data that could paralyse the force’s operations, confidential documents obtained by The Sunday Age reveal.

According to its own assessment, Victoria Police is served by an IT department that is overwhelmed by increasing technology demands. A leaked copy of the police’s Risk Register, a catalogue of issues facing the force, reveals the failure of management to commit to “an appropriate standard of information security controls”.
