With Collective creates first enrolment ad for same-sex marriage postal vote
The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released its first ad explaining the postal plebiscite on same-sex marriage and detailing the cut-off date for enrolment.
The 30-second television commercial created by Dentsu’s With Collective is centred around reminding people to register on the Commonwealth electoral role and update their details at aec.gov.au.
Notice how they omitted “https://” in front of “aec.gov.au”.
They HAD to omit it – they not only had NO SECURITY whatsoever on the voter registration entry portal, they actively disabled it – so even if you tried hard and wanted to be “cyber secure”, it was impossible.
Oh yeah – and they were in receipt of multiple vulnerability reports highlighting that oversight at the time, and actively decided not to fix it, yet they later claimed in their annual report to take “Cyber-security seriously”.
