Australian govt to increase fines for data breaches_我的网站

一 | Canberra, Oct 22 (UNI) Australian companies that fail to protect customers' data will face fines worth tens of millions of dollars under new laws proposed by the government.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said on Saturday that he would introduce legislation to Parliament that will increase the maximum fines for serious or repeated data breaches from the current limit of 2.2 million Australian dollars (1.3 million US dollars).

Under the changes, the maximum penalty will become whichever is highest 50 million Australian dollars (31.7 million US dollars), 30 per cent of a company's turnover in the relevant period, or three times the value of any financial benefit obtained through the misuse of data.

It comes after a series of high-profile data breaches in Australia.

Telecommunications giant Optus in September disclosed a major cyber attack that compromised the data of approximately 10 million current and former customers.

On October 13, health insurance provider Medibank revealed hackers stole 200 gigabytes of data including details of customers' medical procedures.

"When Australians are asked to hand over their personal data they have a right to expect it will be protected," Dreyfus said on Saturday.

"Unfortunately, significant privacy breaches in recent weeks have shown existing safeguards are inadequate. It's not enough for a penalty for a major data breach to be seen as the cost of doing business."

The Optus and Medibank breaches have been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Australian Cyber Security Center, and Australian Signals Directorate for investigation.

If passed by Parliament, the amendments to the Privacy Act would also give the national information commissioner greater powers to resolve data breaches.
UNI/XINHUA PRT。 AI摘要福州中院审理一起工伤纠纷，认定瑜伽馆通过第三方“挂靠”缴纳工伤保险无效。法院强调，为职工参保是用人单位法定义务，违规转嫁不能免除责任，发生工伤仍由实际用工单位承担赔偿。如今，一部分小微企业为降低用工成本、简化流程，委托第三方人力资源公司等代为缴纳员工工伤保险。

二 | 如果员工真的受伤，赔偿风险能否转移？近日，福州中院处理了一起相关工伤纠纷。小陈与某瑜伽馆签订了劳动合同，约定小陈担任瑜伽教练，在馆内进行教学任务。瑜伽馆老板为节省人力成本，将小陈的工伤保险“挂靠”在自己丈夫名下的某科技公司内。一日，小陈在下班途中因交通事故受伤，申请工伤认定，当地人社局也认定小陈受到的事故伤害构成工伤，要求瑜伽馆方承担工伤赔偿。

三 | 然而，瑜伽馆方面认为小陈是通过其他公司购买的工伤保险，拒绝承担工伤赔偿，并向法院提起诉讼。一审法院经审理，判决驳回瑜伽馆的诉讼请求。瑜伽馆不服，向福州中院提起上诉。 “为职工办理工伤保险，并按时缴纳工伤保险费用，是用人单位的法定义务。工伤保险开户和缴纳单位应当是与劳动者建立劳动关系的用人单位。”审理中，福州中院法官指出，小陈实为瑜伽馆的瑜伽教练，其工作内容、工资等都是由该瑜伽馆负责。因此，瑜珈馆应当依法承担工伤保险责任。福州中院法官表示，一部分用人单位为图便利，违规购买工伤保险，将这一义务挂靠或转嫁到第三方名下，如虚构劳动关系、通过中介或其他途径挂靠在与职工没有劳动关系的单位名下，或异地违规违法补缴社保后转入单位所在地。这些情况均不能真正转移法定义务，一旦出现工伤事故，依法仍由用人单位承担工伤保险责任。（记者阮冠达）。
